"'Noob' could well be the millionth word in the English language – a milestone set to be reached within the coming weeks.

The news comes directly from the Global Language Monitor that estimates the millionth word in the English language is set to arrive on June 10th, 2009 at 10:22 am, British Summer Time.
Approximately!

A number of British newspapers including The Daily Telegraph, The Sun and The Independent have all decreed that 'noob' could be that momentous word.
Shakespeare pwned n00bs

"The widespread popularity of English as a second language in Asia has brought about the most fertile period of word generation since William Shakespeare's time with new terms coined on average every 98 minutes," reports the Telegraph.

Global Language Monitor acknowledges new words once they have been used 25,000 times by media outlets, social networking websites and in other public sources.

Other words that might make the cut include "defollow", "defriend", "greenwashing" (what companies do to appear environmentally friendly) and "chiconomics" (referring to credit crunch inspired fashions!).

Paul Payack, chief analyst at the Global Language Monitor, claims that the "average persons vocabulary is fewer than 14,000 words out of these million that are available. A person who is linguistically gifted would only use 70,000 words.

Right you are. Where I live, "ain't" is second nature. And yes, it is in the dictionary, but it is labeled as "Old English".

....I ain't racist. I believe in equal opportunity. Obama is doing a great job. And, I can't vote. I ain't 18. McCain sucks ass. He's a fag, and so is Pallin. I would have voted for Obama. If you find "Ain't" annoying, too bad.

I don't know where the hell you live, But I live in America, where I can say whatever the HELL I wan't. I go by no rules. And by the way sir communist, If you believe in Obama So much, Why do you tell people to shut up? Technically, your being stereo typical and Racist toward southerners.

BTW, PWND...

Obama in the 100 day report said lots of people in the US love him but you have a point nintendo 13 about him doing pretty bad but I think he is doing pretty good but not excellent. We also have to recover what Bush did to this country so it's going to be hard for him.

Our big end of year trip to Dollywood was cut, along with any thing that did not meet the requirements.

2011 was a long time ago. It was also the last time I made a post on this site. At the time I believed that no more would come from the good old days. Boy was I wrong.
