Nice, thanks for the information, it's really nice to learn something new. Talking about learning, do you know that you can be a millionaire when you pitch your ideas in the Next Titan Nigeria show? There's a whooping 20 million naira for grabs by the winners and about 5 million naira for runner up.

According to Global Language monitor, About 1000 new words are added every year... So it depends on when these ones came onboard...

Even Merriam Webster added 455 new words to it's dictionary not too long ago... Words are like fashion. It depends on who is following smiley
