Apparently a US based Global Language Monitor has recently decided that Web 2.0 is the millionth word to enter the English Language !
To be accepted a word ust be used at least 25,000 times across national boundaries and outside specialisms.
999,999th word was Jai Ho! ( a Hindi phrase signifying joy used in the film Slumdog Millionaire )
1,000,001st word was Financial Tsunami ( sudden financial restructuring )
There are probably several others by now.
But I wonder what the 1st word was ?
