The Development Of the English Language Through the Ages
Dictionaries and the Development of the English language Did you know that the word “nice” originally meant “stupid”? Or that “decimate” used to mean “to kill one in every 10”? The development of the English language keeps evolving , and we don’t even realize it. Anne Curzan, professor of English at the University of Michigan, studies how the English language works and how it has changed over time. In her TED Talk, she explains how various words have developed and what makes a word “real”. People usually think a word is real when it appears in the dictionary. However, most slang words don’t, even though they fill important gaps in the English language. Curzan notes that dictionaries are not timeless since words and languages change all the time. For example, if you wanted to write a business letter, would you use a dictionary from 1910? Probably not. You would use a recent dictionary. And why? Because we usually don’t use the terms any more that have been used 100 years ago, since language is constantly developing. Languages back then Curzan gives interesting examples during her speech. In 1875, Dean Henry Alford said that “desirability” is a terrible word. In 1760, Benjamin Franklin complained about the word “colonize”. However, today, these words appear in every dictionary and no one doubts their validity. Many words develop from other languages as well. In Germany for example, people use a lot of English loan words and sometimes mix both the German and English language to create new ones. These words may sound English, but English native speaker wouldn’t understand them. “Handy” is the... read more
Mother’s Day in Vancouver
Mother’s Day in Vancouver Dear readers, This Sunday, May 8, 2016, sons and daughters all over the world will celebrate Mother’s Day. On this special day, they concentrate on the wellbeing of their mothers. (Actually, this should be done every day, not just once a year…) Anyway, if you are in need of some ideas on how to spend Mother’s Day in Vancouver, here are some suggestions for you! Brunch Brunch is always a good idea. It’s about food and, let’s be honest, everyone loves food! You can either prepare something at home (your mother will be so proud– lots of kisses will follow), or treat your mother to brunch at a fancy restaurant. You can enjoy a nice breakfast at The Teahouse, (Stanley Park) on Mother’s Day in Vancouver and spend the rest of the day walking through the park. Spa Day A mother’s life can be very stressful. Mothers work, prepare meals for their loved ones, do the housework, and look after their children. And no matter how old their kids are, even if they don’t live at home anymore, mothers still worry about them. Mother’s Day is the best opportunity to give back to your mother for all her hard work! And a good way to do this would be to spend Mother’s Day in Vancouver relaxing at one of Vancouver’s best spas. VanDusen Gardens If your mom loves the outdoors, you should definitely go for a walk through the VanDusen Botanical Garden, where there will be live music, a photo booth, and pop-up café in celebration of Mother’s Day in Vancouver. (The weather is supposed... read more
Which City Takes The Most Selfies?
Selfies Everyone has taken at least one in their life. Young people, especially, love to take a lot of selfies. They are popular, and a fast and easy way to share moments with your friends. You take a selfie and can send it within seconds to your partner, best friend, or parents, or share it on Snapchat, Instagram or Facebook. Have you ever wondered which city takes the most selfies? Most people would assume a North American city, since there are so many locations perfect for selfie – taking (think New York, San Francisco or Hollywood…). Which city takes the most selfies? Well, they would be surprised to hear it isn’t an American or Canadian city, but Makati City in the Philippines! In any given week, the residents of Makati take 258 selfies per 100,000 people. They are followed by Manhattan, N.Y. with 202 selfies. Makati City is where politics, showbiz and nightlife meet, and since this is one of the biggest business districts in the greater Metro Manila area, a lot of selfies are taken there. The Philippines want to show their status because they are proud of themselves, what they do, and of their country as well. They are working their way out of poverty and to show their success, they take a lot of selfies! What about Canadian cities? Well, Canadians do take selfies, but way less than the Philippines. Check out the chart below! Here at LingoStar, we have professional translators who are native speakers of Tagalog. We also have a range of other services to offer such as revising, updating and localizing your content... read more
