Thanks for sharing the news Abid. An example of why English has become a universal language. It is a perfect example of a living language that keeps evolving and taking in new words constantly.

Kalyani has made nice point.It does account for the popularity of the English language.The language has been liberally borrowing words from all sources and adding to the richness of it.

Thanks for this information. Oxford English Dictionary accepts all words that have no equivalent in English. This enriches English.
