After last month by the Society Our Language is already in the limelight to be placed ‘sjoemelsoftware’ yesterday the double (combination): also woordenboekmaker of Dale was the dieselgate-term to word of the year elected.

Usually a market player to be happy with the media attention, but a word with such a negative connotation I guess VW is not eager for exposure. Still, it’s a bit like you as an actor, a raspberry award.

Sjoemelsoftware kreege almost half (40,000) of votes, and had ‘poortjesspringer’ and ‘je suis’ far behind. Previous winners were ‘dagobertducktaks’, ‘selfie’, ‘project X party’ and ‘tuigdorp’, which indicates that this kind of winning words is very time-bound. In the margin of this news (and a bit less autogerelateerd): “every pole there in’ yesterday by Our Language voted the worst slogan of 2015, you are entirely on the height of the taalverkiezingen:

Europe is more stringent

In this way can VW and other dieselfabrikanten in Europe in the coming years, probably a lot of the bak: the environment committee of the European Parliament voted yesterday against the ridiculously liberal interpretation of the emission standards, which imposed values up to more than 100% is exceeded. The lobby may go back to the barge in Brussels.
