According to the @OED the first recorded use of the word newfangled was in 1496, oldfangled was first used 268 years later.

Singular ‘they’ is not (yet) accepted by the Chicago Manual of Style. However, the Oxford English Dictionary blog traces its use back to 1375, and the OED not only accepts it, but uses it in its own definitions #tcidul https://t.co/AkGFv0EddQ

I like this article a lot: 12 different uses of the word ‘like’ that confound grammarians (don’t worry, only four of them are, like, types of filler). Makes you think about how you use simple words. #tcidul https://t.co/wgECkP8IHB

It may be in the OED, but I'm not sure I could get away with using 'eleventy' in work, tempting though it may be! #tcidul

[The OED @OED]

OED Word of the Day: eleventy, adj. Amounting to a very large (but indefinite) number or quantity https://t.co/zA754VrcZw

We know about differences between US and UK English but you don’t hear much about European English. “Over the years, the European institutions have developed a vocabulary that differs from that of any recognised form of English”, says guide: (pdf) https://t.co/SFyGwVZU98 #tcidul

You may be familiar with most of the concepts involved, but now you'll be able to nod knowledgeably when someone mentions Information 4.0. #tcidul Information 4.0. is molecular, dynamic, offered, ubiquitous, spontaneous and profiled automatically:
