With the third and final debate between presidential candidates Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton behind us, Dictionary.com has released its analysis on some of the words both candidates chose to say to each other and, ultimately, voters. There were interruptions (Trump, 24; Clinton, 1). There were one-word sentences (Trump, 12; Clinton, 4), including five “Wrongs” (Trump). There was “undocumented” (Clinton) vs. “illegal” (Trump).
