The Millionth Word In The English Language

Last Monday I posted about the countdown to the 1,000,000th word in the English language by the Global Language Monitor. Yesterday, that milestone was reached.

The Global Language Monitor announced that Web 2.0 is the 1,000,000th English word or phrase added to the codex of the fourteen hundred-year-old language. Web 2.0 is a technical term meaning the next generation of World Wide Web products and services.
