I love how @petersokolowski.bsky.social shares his insights about the new Merriam-Webster Collegiate! I can’t wait to share this episode on December 1. Stay tuned!! Piquepublishing.com/podcast

The new 12th edition is available on Nov. 18. Do some adulting and place your preorder today!
This graphic has a dark purple background with subtle editorial marks as a subtle background pattern. The top displays a banner, "The Editor's Half Hour Podcast," with red neon details for the word "Half." Below the banner is a white circle with an image of Peter Sokolowski, who is a bald white male, wearing a white collared shirt and red tie with dictionaries behind him. To the right of the image is the text, “with Peter Sokolowski, Inside the new Merriam-Webster Collegiate Dictionary,” in a horizontal teal banner. Below the banner, it includes the text: Episode 36 | December 1, 2025. In a red-outlined box with red quotation marks is the following quote: “The job is revision. The idea of a noun becoming a verb or a verb becoming a noun is happening a little faster now—like with the term ‘adulting.’ It’s used quite frequently, so now it’s in the dictionary.” In small text on the bottom left is the teal Pique company logo, which is a backward-facing pilcrow, and in white: piquepublishing.com/podcast. On the bottom right is the Instagram handle: @Editor_Half_Hour with a small white heart and thumbs up notification

I don’t know if there’s a word in the dictionary to describe the level of excitement I have for my interview with @petersokolowski.bsky.social!! He’s such a delightful person and I loved getting to know him! Y’all are in for a treat!

Yes, “y’all” is in the dictionary and so is “fangirl.”

Stay tuned for the season finale with expert editor Madeleine Vasaly to learn all about comic book style!” There is a smaller thought bubble that says, “Ugh!
