    Millioneth English Word

    "Web 2.0"

    Faster, faster, faster, until the thrill of speed overcomes the fear of death.

    Patience is something you admire in the driver behind you and scorn in the one ahead.

        It looks to me like one word and one number, which doesn't seem right. Can you include numbers?

        Isn't pi a commonly used number? On this basis shouldn't 3.1416...etc be included in its most accurate known form in the OED?

            Did you know that "Blighty" actually comes from a Hindustani word which means "foreign"?
