A millionth word

A millionth word has been added to the Lexicon and that is none other than the technical term 'Web 2.0'. It is not everyday we find a millionth word to be added to the English Lexicon. Coming to Web 2.0, is the next generation of Web provided to people with Semantic Web Services and also the possession of domain knowledge. As per the rule, a word must be added to the dictionary only if it is cited by a particular number of literature content (say in tens of thousands). So the new kid on the block is Web 2.0.

The addition of Web 2.0 has stirred many oppositions from people who insist that Web 2.0 is not an apt term to be added to the lexicon. A few years back, a similar word was added to the lexicon after being used in the Harry Potter series book. That word is 'muggle' meaning non-magical folks that was coined by the author J.K.Rowling. This word was said to be added only in the Oxford dictionary and not followed by Cambridge dictionary.
