New words for new things is what I would advocate, as in 'computers'; I'm just not keen on slang becoming authorised.<br /><br />I will try your pope-watching link, thank you!Fr Dicksonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11702725497183621855noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-641832955811669058.post-18264719232452958062013-09-22T19:53:02.523+01:002013-09-22T19:53:02.523+01:00Sorry but it cannot be tied down to new developmen...Sorry but it cannot be tied down to new developments alone. The nature of human beings means that they will constantly make up new words at any time about anything as they are prompted by an, invention, a hairstyle, a technological development, a system, an environment, an artefact.....anything really. Words drop out of usage too. Interesting but really not so important in the grand scheme of things. Much more interesting nowadays is "pope-watching" He is going about his business in a very efficient and underplayed style, coming out with many gems worth pondering too. Try going to Google and entering "google alerts" When it asks what you want to be alerted about, enter "Vatican". Every day you will get the latest news about what Pope Francis has been up to. Its a great read.mickthemackemnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-641832955811669058.post-64205964694667056122013-09-22T19:11:37.753+01:002013-09-22T19:11:37.753+01:00Thank you again.

If the word is used often enough, it becomes mainstream and can be found in any dictionary. ( eg. skinhead, tizzy, or Sheila ( Australian slang for girl.) Slang or mainstream, grammar is needed when the word is written to ensure consistency.mickthemackemnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-641832955811669058.post-35432678733660504352013-09-22T10:38:32.069+01:002013-09-22T10:38:32.069+01:00Thank you for this...
