‘Polarization’ is Merriam-Webster’s 2024 word of the year
SUMMARY: The 2024 U.S. presidential election results highlighted the nation’s divisions, resulting in the selection of “polarization” as Merriam-Webster’s word of the year. Defined as a specific form of division, polarization reflects a trend toward extremes rather than consensus. An AP survey showed that 80% of Kamala Harris voters viewed Donald Trump as an existential threat, while 70% of Trump voters felt the same about Harris. Merriam-Webster selects its word based on increased search activity, with polarization extending to various aspects of society, including pop culture. Other notable words this year included “demure,” “fortnight,” “totality,” and “resonate.”

SUMMARY: A mistrial was declared in the capital murder case of Sheldon “Timothy” Herrington, Jr., accused of killing former Ole Miss student Jimmie “Jay” Lee. After over nine hours of deliberation, the jury was deadlocked at 11-1 on a verdict. Herrington faced multiple charges, with prosecutors alleging he murdered Lee to hide a romantic relationship. Lee, a notable member of the LGBTQ+ community, has been missing since July 2022. The defense argued insufficient evidence linked Herrington to the crime. Despite evidence suggesting suspicious behavior, the jury ultimately couldn’t agree, prompting a retrial to be scheduled by the judge.

SUMMARY: The former sales manager of Mississippi’s largest seafood distributor, Quality Poultry and Seafood Inc. (QPS), is accused of initiating a scheme to misbrand imported seafood as local. QPS was fined and sentenced to probation for selling mislabeled fish to restaurants, including Mary Mahoney’s, which also falsely advertised seafood for years. The sales manager received jail time, while the business manager received probation. QPS must now maintain detailed records of its seafood and be transparent about its origins.
