MELBOURNE, Australia, Oct.10, 2013 /PRNewswire/ --The word 'Phubbing', coined to describe the uniquely 21stcentury phenomenon of ignoring the person in front of you in favour of your phone, has reached more than 300 million people andsparked global discussion around mobile phone etiquette.Today, McCann Australia and Macquarie Dictionary unveil an online short film that documents the birth of this word, in tandem with the launch of Macquarie Dictionary's Sixth Edition.
The short film, entitledA Word is Born, is the culmination of a journey that began at 4.22pm on 22 May 2012 at the University of Sydney, when a team of language experts first coined the word 'phubbing'.
The campaign proves that language is always evolvingtherefore an up-to-date dictionary is essential. McCann Australia Executive Creative Director John Mescall and Group Account Director Adrian Mills devised the strategy in early 2012 with Susan Butler, Publisher and Editor of Macquarie Dictionary recruiting the team that created the wordphubbing.
The release of'A Word is Born'celebrates the launch of the Sixth Edition of the Macquarie Dictionary, Australia's national dictionary. The film,housed on aYouTube channel,takes the audience through the journey of the word from the moment of inception to adoption and is the first time this process has been deliberately filmed and documented.
Susan Butler,Publisher and Editor, Macquarie Dictionary:"Over the years people have often asked me 'How does a word get into the dictionary?' I explain that the word has to have some kind of acceptance in the community, an acceptance that seems to come immediately to some new words but is forever denied to others. The rise ofphubbingas an original coinage has been a wonderful illustration of the process by which my word becomes your word becomes our word until finally it is a word that belongs to us all."
" 'A Word is Born'is a love story about words, and how incredible they are,"John Mescall said."We live in a highly visual age, but I believe words still hold enormous power. Through this campaign, we want people to fall back in love with words, and the very idea of owning a dictionary.
"To our knowledge, this is the first time the birth of a word has been captured on film, and then tracked as it spreads throughout the world. We suspected this was a word the world needed and it's been so gratifying to see the difference a single word has been able to make. Misuse of smartphones in social situations has been a problem for a while now, but it wasn't until the world had a word to describe that behavior, that people really starting talking about the issue."
"Our aim is twofold: help the world address a growing social problem, and at the same time, help the guys at the Macquarie Dictionary sell copies and subscriptions. Hopefully, it's good for the dictionary and good for everyone."
The campaign kicked off on 29 August 2012 when the websitewww.stopphubbing.comlaunched, introducing the message that 'phubbing' is a social scourge and people of all ages, all nationalities and either sex, offend at some point.
The website and accompanyingFacebook pagewere presented as the brainchild of 23-year-old Alex Haigh an account executive at McCann with McCann's role being that of concept/asset developer. An important milestone in the campaign came in July when Alex spotted an article on smartphone etiquette published byThe Herald Sunand contacted journalist Elissa Doherty with details of the 'Stop Phubbing' campaign, prompting thefirstof a spate of global articles on 'phubbing'.

Leveson frustrated over his press recommendations
Frustration piled upon frustration with an added layer of frustration. If there is one word that sums up everybody's view of what is happening to the much-delayed so-called Leveson reforms of the British press, it is, you guessed it, frustration.
We heard the word over and over again as the Commons' media committee attempted, and entirely failed, to get some answers from Sir Brian Leveson over what he thought had gone wrong in the wake of his report and offer some thoughts on a way forward.
Committee chairman John Whittingdale said, in the politest possible way, that he and his committee were frustrated that Sir Brian's response to their inquiry was: "Read my report, it's all in there."
"It would be enormously helpful if we could at least hear your view. It is extremely frustrating for us," he said.
Sir Brian could only sympathise saying, in effect, that was the problem with having chosen a judicial inquiry into the press. You don't see judges laying down their decisions in court then asking "are there any questions?" he said, to some exasperated laughter.
Needless to say, the campaigners on both sides of the issue, who were well represented in the committee room, were clearly frustrated that, after a 15-month-inquiry and a year since Leveson reported and made his recommendations, the whole issue appears to be disappearing over the horizon. Again.
Sir Brian himself was not immune from this outbreak, declaring: "I am extremely frustrated that people talk about statutory regulation of the press" . His report had absolutely not recommended any such thing, he said.
He also hinted at frustration with David Cameron, who had originally insisted he would implement Leveson's recommendations unless they were "bonkers."
In the closest he came to offering an opinion, let alone a conclusion, Sir Brian told one of his questioners: "The response and answer is in my report which, I hope, is not bonkers."

A Tottenham fan was arrested after allegedly chanting the word "Yid" during his team's 3-0 defeat on Sunday against West Ham at White Hart Lane, the Press Association said.
Metropolitan Police had issued a pre-match warning to supporters of both teams that they could be arrested if they used the inflammatory word during the London derby.
However, that plea was largely ignored and one fan was held on suspicion of committing a section five public order offence at half-time in the stadium's East Stand.
It was revealed on Monday that the supporter was bailed until November when he will appear in court.
Police also confirmed that nine other arrests were made for other public order offences during and after the match.
Tottenham fans had sent a clear message of defiance to police by chanting "Yid Army" during the Premier League fixture.
Yid is a term for Jew which is often considered derogatory, but fans of the north London club chant the word as an act of defiance against those who taunt them because of their links with the Jewish community.
Despite the police warning, large sections of the Tottenham crowd sang "Yid Army" and "we'll sing what we want" before kick-off and the chants did not cease throughout the match.
As is customary at all Spurs matches, home fans hailed their own players by shouting "Yiddo" at them, while "Jermain Defoe, he's a Yiddo" was often sung throughout the game in reference to the club's former West Ham striker.
