Shall we celebrate or despair at the one millionth word addition to our English Language?

oh what a tangled web 2.0. we weave

Who would decide what words were useless? If the words are not used, it's as if they don't exist, anyway, so what does it matter whether they are officially eliminated by some fool(s) who has the time to research every dictionary available to find never-used words. Besides, I just may want to use some forgotten words, as I do from time to time, just to watch people act as if they understood me. Oh--and some of your examples make no sense, so it is clear you really dont understand some of the (very simple) word replacement examples you give. "Quiet" is not the same as "silent;" we need both. A car's engine can run quietly, but it's running, so it's not silent, (which is the absence of noise). I can speak quietly, but I can't speak silently. A car going ninety miles an hour is going fast; it is not going quick. Then there's "quip," a remark or comeback, commonly involving humor, but a witticism requires cleverness and intelligence, with a subtle humor. Sorry, but meaning matters; many words are simply not interchangeable.

To be honest I don't want to celebrate or despair on the millionth word. I think it is like my brain is fried enough from the english language. I think that the person that announced this is in it for the publicity. The old saying goes don't believe anything you hear and half of what you see.

I'm ambivalent. Just as you don't expect me to remember every one of the million.

Very disappointing. It should be something like "discombobulation" or

"bovicide" ( to kill a cow)

i think we should feel no emotion at all, it really is insignificant.

ah well something different ?
