In The News:
- On this day in 1973: The Sears Tower in Chicago was topped out as the world’s tallest building.

- DRIVE THRU WAIT TIMES ARE UP _ In 2012, the fast food industry magazine QSR clocked the average McDonald’s drive-thru at 189 seconds — just over 3 minutes — and it’s gotten worse every year since. Currently the McDonald’s drive-thru wait time is almost 5 minutes. The company is not alone, as fast food’s pursuit of more expansive menus, more variety and higher customization has led to across-the-board hikes in service times in the drive-thru.

- The official international Scrabble dictionary has updated its list of approved words for the first time since 2015, opening up an additional 2,800 words to players at tournaments and at home. The new words approved by Collins, the publisher behind the Collins English Dictionary in Britain, come after some of the same terms were approved last year by Merriam-Webster, which oversees the Scrabble list for the United States and Canada. The Collins additions help standardize the dictionary for English-language players worldwide.

- Does the word moist bother you? Well, it bothers a fifth of the world’s population and there’s a study to back it up. According to Paul H. Thibodeau, from Leiden University in the Netherlands, the word moist bothers people because of what people associate with the word and not necessarily the word itself. People associate the word with bodily functions and more young, educated, neurotic women are the ones who are grossed out by it.
