WORD OF YEAR: Another suggestion

If I may make a quick observation about the article published Dec. 9 about Merriam-Webster’s word of the year — Authentic. I’d like to offer up another option: “Perfect” primarily used by younger people in the service industry. “What’s your name?” — Rick. “Perfect.” “What city do you live in” — Hayden. “Perfect.” “Where were you born” — Spokane. “Perfect.” Always an ego boost to know just about everything I say is “Perfect.”
