    Have you learned a lot of English words？Well，many more are being created right now!
    Neologisms appear all the time，especially linked to new technology.This not only represents more work for you but also annoys some native speakers of English.
   Every age has its purists.Tom Chatfield，author of Netymology：A Linguistic Celebration of the Digital World，says that in the16th Century，many people disliked neologisms with foreign influences.The poet Richard Willies said that they were"smelling too much of the Latin".
   In the19th Century，the English poet William Barnes suggested that the word"photograph"should be replaced by"sun print"in order to achieve proper "Englishness".It didn't catch on.
   Now the debate about speech and writing is livelier than ever，says Mr.Chatfield.He thinks the Digital Revolution is as significant as the Industrial Revolution，and there are many inventions and processes which have to be named.
   From text messages and email to chat rooms and video games，technology has over the past few decades brought about an extraordinary new area of verbal exchange.It is not so much about foreign influence but informality and abbreviation.The Oxford English Dictionary acknowledged in 2011 the use of initials such as"oh my God"（OMG），"laughs out loud"（LOL） and"for your information"（FYI）.
   We are moving away from spoken words and towards the act of typing on to a screen.We've already grown so used to saying phrases like dotcom out loud that we forget we are speaking punctuation marks.And punctuation took a life of its own with emotions.
   The speed of communication today is matched by the speed with which new words are taken up.Bicycles，automobiles and telephones took decades to become a part of daily life as words and objects.With online offerings，new words are adopted in a matter of months.The verb"to google"has become a part of dozens of languages across the world.
   Where habit leads，language follows.Only time will tell what lasts.Meanwhile，as a student of the English language，you've got a lot of catching up to do.
