Photos of WOTY 2010 vote

[Tom Zurinskas]

I read in my local paper that the ADS has chosen the word "app" as the word of the year (WOTY).  Very app-ropos, as I've been readng about all the apps being developed for smartphones.  CNBC just did a feature on "apps".
 
Is "app" the first abbreved WOTY?  App is short for "application."
