A new English word is created every 90 minutes!

A new English word is created every 90 minutes!

You find yourself flummoxed, bamboozled, and utterly nonplussed by a series of onerous words the author has surreptitiously placed in his or her latest feature column.

The author’s lexical audacity catapults you into a fit of neaderthalic rage. Big and complex words suck–when you find them in books you probably skip over them and hope that the rest of the sentence can get the point across.

And when you use big words everyone thinks you’re arrogant or trying too hard to sound smart. As of 2012, there were over 1 million words in the English language.

In the English language, there is a new word created every 98 minutes or about 14.7 words per day! What counts as a word these days? Omg! R u srs? Lol, k. Brb.

I just expressed surprise, intrigue, delight, understanding, and urgency in 20 characters.
