Who is worried about increasing number of words in English language dictionary ?

Answer 1

its good for language

Answer 2

I'm not worried - words are created and words die out all the time. Language is organic and evolves constantly ... It does make me a bit sad to see specialist terms dying out, as if the English language was getting poorer .. But if the overall number of words is increasing, then obviously the language must be getting richer in nuance, no ?

Answer 3

Not me. The Oxford Dictionary has 1 billion words, or some crazy number.

Answer 4

I'm not. I think for every increase of words there are words that fall out of use. For example, I look for the word typewriter to not even be in a student or general public use dictionary in a few years. I don't really know of anyone who uses a typewriter anymore.
