Fail
What is the definition of fail?
In school the definition usually is defined by your grade. Is most schools if your score a 60% or lower you are technically failing.
That is one way to fail but there is so many ways you could define what failing is and it like success, perfection, etc. is in the eye of the beholder.
Could you technically be failing at something but not really failing?
To me I think the definition of insanity and the definition of fail should go together.
The definition of insanity is "doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results".
To me that is failure. Everyday is a new experiment and we can either choose to copy the previous days experiments and get the same results or we can try new experiments and get new outcomes.
I am not saying that experiments shouldn't ever be repeated by sometimes we get stuck in an infinite loop doing the same things day after day after day that we already know doesn't work.

What to do to get words entered into the dictionary..
Saw this on Merriam-Websters site:
The explanations I wrote. The only things they mentioned were the words in bold.
1. Widespread usage (geographically) = I got all my friends on Facebook saying the word courvivaverilspiroul (spell check wants to change this word to ultra-conservative lol) and they got their friends saying it as well. A lot of people have an understanding of the word and is using it.
2. Sustained usage (time) = This could mean a few different things but I think it generally means the frequency of usage.
3. Meaningful usage (purpose) = It is used for the purpose it was created? Not sure about this one.
Now that we have identified what is required the question is how do you accomplish it?
You could come up with a close variant of a popular word that spells and sounds similar to what the current popular spells and sounds like.
You could find an area of language that is in need of some simplification or some specialization.
For example what do you call your 5th great grandfather? You could just abbrv like it like 5th GgF.
You could just keep adding successiveness to each successive grandfather.
It could something like:
1st: Grandfather
2nd: Grandfatherer
3rd: Grandfathererer
4th: Grandfatherererer
5th: Grandfathererererer

Downloading vs. Uploading
In the most basic sense of these words downloading is when you are pulling information with your computer from another computer and it creates a file onto your computer. Most often that other computer is a server.
When you upload you are pushing information to another computer from your computer. Again most often that other computer is a server.
Downloading and Uploading is done by billions every day of the week.
One of the most common downloads : Saving photos from a website to your computer.
One of the most common uploads: Posting a photo to facebook.

Average
WOTD: Average.
The word average is one of the most thrown around words out there.
It can also mean a lot of different things as well. It can mean most, ok, normal, so-so, etc.
I think a lot of people don't understand averages.
Conversation:
p1: How is your day today?
p2: About average. Not the best but not the worst.

Parse , Parsimony
To me to parse something is to chop it into parts. So imagine you have a knife and you have someones name and phone number written down on a piece of paper.
So say you wanted to separate the pieces of data (name and phone number). You would parse it! You could parse it further piece the data into (last name, first name, and phone number).
Like parse has to deal with separating things parsimoney is an unwillingness to spend money. It means to be careful to parse your money.
grammar : to divide (a sentence) into grammatical parts and identify the parts and their relations to each other
: to study (something) by looking at its parts closely

Capitalism vs. Socialism
I was thinking about this today and I was thinking about how they differ. I think Capitalism focuses on the one while Socialism focuses on the many.
I am not advocating either because neither system is perfect. Just stating my perspective on the two.

Mathematics / Language / Universe
Galileo Galilei (1564–1642) said, "The universe cannot be read until we have learned the language and become familiar with the characters in which it is written. It is written in mathematical language, and the letters are triangles, circles and other geometrical figures, without which means it is humanly impossible to comprehend a single word. Without these, one is wandering about in a dark labyrinth.

Squabble
People these days squabble about a lot of dumb things.
I think this word relates a lot to the word scribble. To scribble mean to write something down quickly. I scribbled the phone number down because my phone was about to die.
The term squabble to me means to quarrel about things without giving much thought. It is all too common in todays world that the phrase "think before you speak" has been lost to most.
Instead it is more like say whatever the crap that flys out of your mouth and if you get in trouble or if enough people get offended THEN appologize.
