Internet English - language reverts to type:
- 1972 the first email was sent, shortly after the internet arrived (1991). Suddenly people were able to communicate to each other across the world. After this people started using slang and shortenings when writing emails to save time. Soon people adopted this to their spoken language. Suddenly LOL meant 'laughing out loud' and also 'lots of love'.
Conversations were getting shorter than the average attention span.
Before the internet came the language developed when people spoke to each other, but now the language changes trough out the communication on the internet.

It is fifteen hundred years since the romans left Britain, the language has developed and stolen different words from other languages. It has grown overseas and through the internet and has since then had a big impact on other languages. Later on the language became a "vacation language", and is now used to communicate with people from all around the world. Now about 1.5 billion people speaks English, of these about a quarter are native speakers, a quarter speak it as a second language and a half can ask for directions. English has developed into a new language and maybe shouldn't be called English anymore.

As the English language began to expand, there was a need to write down the words in order to control the language. The so-called lexicographers, who were people who wrote and edited the dictionaries made an agreement on the definitions of the words and how they should be spelled.
Dr. Johnson used nine years to write a dictionary that ended up having 42.773 words. As time went on new words were invented and the language expanded further. The dictionary was quickly outdated. In 1857 they began writing the Oxford English Dictionary and they were finished in 1928. Ever since, they have continuously added new words and erased the outdated ones.

The english of science or how to speak with gravity

This chapter is about how the language in the 17th hundred were heavily influenced by scientist, physicists and an very academic language, since there were many scientific breakthroughs. But the people could not catch up with the ‘’the royal society’’ (Robert x2 +Isaac) and their latin. Even among each other when they met to discuss and exchange their scientific discoveries or inventions, they could not understand each other. So in order to be able to educate the population probably, a common language had to be invented. This era is also named ‘’The Age of Enlightenment’’, since the general public started showing interest in physics, including for instance sexual-education. Therefore there was a great need for having a common language so everyone could understand each other, when talking about science.

In the chapter three important people were mentioned:

Robert Boyle (1627-1691), who was an irish-english philosopher, chemist and physicist

Robert Hooke (1635- 1703), who was an english scientist

Isaac Newton (1643 - 1727), who discovered the laws of gravity.

Some of the words that were invented in the age of enlightenment include:

acid

gravity

electricity

pendulum

The vocabulary regarding the human body expanded as well, which led to these words invention:

cardiac

tonsil

ovary

sternum

penis

vagina

clitoris
