Food for thought On English language/ English words

English language becomes rich because it reflects changing culture , modes of communication,values and ways of thinking by influencing people all over the world.
Because of their vast colony, the language ‘grows’ in different environment under different cultures.
Moreover, English people are reluctant to police ‘their?’ language .
I use italics and question mark for the word ‘their’, because although English language originated in Britain , it can not be monopolised by them .
They are more or less tolerant of the ‘ abuse/use’ of ‘ the language’, because by nature they are open-minded .
Nowadays because of expanding usage of Internet and emailing , computer-
related vocabulary is speedily assimilated by English language.
