Did you know? English has no official language regulator!
Unlike French, which has the Académie Française to oversee new words and maintain linguistic purity, English evolves organically. There’s no governing body to approve or reject words—meaning slang, borrowed words, and even internet lingo can easily become part of everyday speech. That’s why English is one of the most flexible and ever-changing languages in the world!
So, next time you hear a new word like "selfie" or "binge-watch," remember—it became "real English" simply because people started using it!
