English

The English language is a work in progress. Have fun with it. - “Jonathan Culver”

What is English?


English is a language - originally the language of the people of England. Today, English is the main language of the United Kingdom, Ireland, the United States of America, Canada, Australia, New Zealand and more than fifty other countries. (Interestingly, until as recently as 2017 English was NOT the official language of the USA, although it had long been the official language of several US states.)

Worldwide, there are over 400 million native speakers of English, and over one billion more people speak it as a second language. English is probably the third language in terms of number of native speakers (after Mandarin and Spanish); and probably the most widely spoken language on the planet taking into account native and non-native speakers.

"OMG" and "LOL" are way older acronyms than you think.

While these days "LOL" means "laugh out loud," back in the 1960s, an LOL was a "little old lady"! No kidding. Now just picture little old ladies laughing out loud. And while we might think of "OMG" as a product of internet or texting abbreviations, the first recorded instance of the acronym was in 1917, when Winston Churchill used it in a letter.

People agree "whatever" is the most annoying word in the English language.

Is there a word that makes your skin crawl whenever you hear it? According to a 2016 poll by the Marist Institute for Public Opinion, "whatever" was voted the most annoying word in the English language for the eighth year running.

English is the official language of the air.

This means that English is the official language of airplane travel. Ever noticed that no matter where you’re flying in the world, your pilot and flight attendants always know English? This is why!
