Please bookmark this site.)With the development of the Internet, e-mail and mobile phone messages, a new language has deve10ped within just a few vears-we call it Weblish.The latest oxford English Dictionary has included many new words showing the changes in our communication culture While some language experts are concerned about the future of English and want to do something, John Simpson, chief editor of the dictionary says,“The standards may be different now but it has certainly encouraged writing and communication, which means a faster development of language change.There are a large number of words that either come from the Internet or have been given new meanings by the Internet.”
