On improving the English language.........

io9 points out the limitations of the English language.  There are times when we need a word that just isn't there,  Let's get busy people.  From their list:

6. Verschlimmbesserung (German)

The Meaning: A verschlimmbesserung is a supposed improvement that makes things worse. There are actually a lot of words for this in a lot of languages, and that makes me think that English needs to get on the ball and coin a native word for this concept. Everyone needs it.
