The world is very different now. For man holds in his mortal hands the power to abolish all forms of human
poverty and all forms of human life. And yet the same revolutionary beliefs for 41 our forebears fought are still
at issue around the globe—the belief that the rights of man come not from the generosity of the state, 42 from the
hand of God.
We dare not forget today that we are the heirs of that first revolution. Let the word go forth from this time and
place, to friend and foe 43 , that the torch has been passed to a new generation of Americans—born in this
century, tempered by war, disciplined by a hard and bitter peace, proud of our ancient heritage, and unwilling to
witness or permit the slow undoing of those human rights to which this nation has always been committed, and to
which we are committed today at home and around the world. Let every nation know, 44 it wishes us well or
ill, 45 we shall pay any price, bear any burden, meet any hardship, support any friend, oppose any foe, to assure
the survival and the success of liberty.

“Meh,” a word which indicates a lack of interest or enthusiasm, became the latest addition to the Collins English
Dictionary. The word, which beats hundreds of other suggestions from members of the public, will feature in the
30th-anniversary edition of the dictionary. Though the word apparently originates from North America, Collins said it
was now widely used on the Internet, and was increasingly heard in British spoken English.
The dictionary entry for “meh” will say it can be used as an interjection to indicate indifference or boredom, as an
adjective to describe something as boring or mediocre, or to show that an individual is apathetic or unimpressed.
The word was popularized by the U.S. comedy animation series “The Simpsons,” where characters Bart and Lisa
use it to express indifference when their father Homer suggests a day trip. It was submitted by Erin Whyte from
Nottingham, central England, and a panel of Collins language experts singled it out from the hundreds of other
submissions because of its frequency of use in modern English.
“This is a new exclamation from the U.S. that seems to have made its way into common speech over here,” said
Cormac McKeown, head of content at Collins Dictionaries. “It shows people are increasingly writing in a register
somewhere in between spoken and written English.”
