And Finally... English language set to reach 1 million words
The English language will celebrate its one millionth word next month, linguistic experts predict.
Contenders for the milestone include defriend and noob, a new computer game player.
Analyst Paul Payack, of the Global Language Monitor in Texas, believes the one million mark will be crossed on June 10.
He said: "Some 1.53 billion people speak English around the globe.
Words are being added to the language at the rate of some 14.7 a day."

So they've added noob? Of course to spell it correctly it should be n00b when are they going to add m00k?
Would your picture be by that then? ;-)
My picture would be down as "king of the m00ks" - hail to the king
Everyone needs a King I guess!?!
