Word Change - Upcoming

Postby Slava » Fri Apr 15, 2022 7:02 am

I just saw a "new" word, and realized that it is quite probably going to become the accepted word in time. It's not listed as such just yet on the internot, but I expect it will be one of these days.

That word is lionshare, as in, "...the lionshare of..." (full article. I can't see this truncation not becoming the norm. How's about you?

Its pronunciation is in distinguishable from the phrase 'lion's share'. This will strengthen its quest for legitimacy.
