Check out this article on new words added to the Miriam-Webster Collegiate Dictionary. Click on the list in the middle of the article and you'll see that one of the new words added this year is "Zaibatsu".

I have a silly question for Z. Are there any difference in the terms Lawyer and Attorney? Why are two so very different words used to describe a person that does the same job? Like I said, I know it is a silly question but just one of those things I would like to know.

Lawyer is merely a common misspelling of the word liar.

Hee...hee...
From that same article is this little gem:
It takes about 10 years for a promising word to get into the dictionary from the time it first gets noticed. But some have a speedy rise to Merriam-Webster legitimacy, depending on the urgency of their meaning and impact
Among this year's fastest climbers is SARS, the acronym for the severe acute respiratory syndrome that began making headlines just two years ago with an outbreak in China.
“That was enough of a public health concern to get it in the dictionary right away,” Morse said. “Now, one of two things could happen. Either we'll never hear about SARS again, and if so, I've wasted three lines of type in the dictionary. Or it will come back, and everyone will go to the dictionary in a time of need to see how SARS is defined.”
Should we tell them how the REAL SARS is defined?
