The buzzword that heralded the new age of social networking on the internet, Web 2.0, has been crowned the one millionth English word by a US-based language monitoring group.

"I think it's pure fraud ... It's not bad science. It's nonsense."

So, one million words, 930,000 more than anyone of us is ever going to use

The Texas-based Global Language Monitor (GLM) acknowledges new words once they have been used 25,000 times on media and social networking sites like Twitter and Facebook.

Can we make a new word and spam it?

How do Americans have a say in what's "English"?

My state was founded by Batman. Your opinion is invalid.

That makes no sense.

"It's over 9000" should be a word by now by following that rule.

Bloody Americans. "Web 2.0" is an expression at most.

The idea of any hi-fi system is to reproduce the source material as faithfully as possible, and to deliberately add distortion to everything you hear (due to amplifier deficiencies) because it sounds 'nice' is simply not high fidelity. If that is what you want to hear then there is no problem with that, but by adding so much additional material (by way of harmonics and intermodulation) you have a tailored sound system, not a hi-fi. - Rod Elliot, ESP

Pretty much. Especially considering every American citizen works for this dictionary company and has a say in what words go in and what stay out.

This might be a hint
