The Ert Movement is only as strong as your participation. Without your help, we will never see ert in the dictionary. To prevent this travesty of language, we must make our views known to the fine people at Merriam-Webster.

Here are the addresses where you can express your concerns:

lrs@merriam-webster.com

dbrandon@merriam-webster.com

Let them know that you think ert should be a word.

After emailing Merriam-Webster, send me an email at leadership, and you will recieve special benefits for participating in the crusade!

Be sure to forward to me any response you get from
Merriam-Webster so that leadership can best focus its efforts!

Here are some sample items to include in your e-mail:
- I think ert should be a word.
- I use ert everyday, and my friends keep ridiculing me for using a word
that's not in the dictionary.
- Make ert a word, please.
- If ert isn't made a word soon, I may just sit in the corner and cry.
- I have a scenario for you: If were to be lying on a table with some sort of debilitating condition, I would be inert. If I were to be lying on that same table, but this time without the debilitating condition, would I not then be ert?
- I will take my business to a competing dictionary if ert is not added to
yours.
- ert, ert, ert, ert, ert, ert, ert, ert, ert, ert, ert, ert, ert, ert, ert, ert, ert, ert,
ert, ert, ert, ert, ert, ert, ert, make it a word.

Any original answer would be most useful as well.
