Word of the Year 2018

Merriam-Webster Publishing has named its word of the year and the word is a good one: Justice.
It was searched on their site 74% more this year than in 2017. Justice is a word that has come up so much this year. Social Justice, Economic Justice, Obstruction of Justice, we've heard a lot about all those in 2018, and the courts have been very busy meting out justice according to our Constitution.
I am glad we have the courts to decide what justice is. No politician or wannabe dictator should be allowed to change the law with a tweet or a half-baked opinion.
By the way, the runners up words were "nationalism," (the world seems to be heading down that dark road) and "pansexual;" you can look that one up.

@JamesHxstatic yes for those who have money, they can easily buy justice,
I think the law must be enforced and the law cannot be bought
