Imaginary Word of the Day: Wortin

Wortin:  The act of actually listening while engaged or not focused on the particular subject speaking.  Not to be confused with ignorance or eavesdropping, this person constructively multitasks.

    That one can be translated into German too!

    Wortin:
    Ich worte.
    Du woertst.
    Er, sie, es woert.
    wir (sie, Sie) wortin.
    Ihr wortit.
