Everyday words like google, unfriend and app simply didn’t exist in 1990. Even more words have had unexpected【B3】______in meaning in those two decades.

Long ago, if someone lived online, it didn’t mean they spent every【B5】______minute on the Internet, but that they travelled around with the rail network. And【B6】______still means, to anyone of a certain age, a radio—not the system for【B7】______Internet pages without wires.
"The Internet is an amazing【B8】______ for languages," said David Crystal, honorary professor of Linguistics at the University of Bangor.【B9】"______." English is a remarkably inclusive language, and if words continue to be used for at least five years they generally end up in the Oxford English Dictionary.
【B10】______. For example, "LOLcat" is a phonetic, grammatically-incorrect caption that accompanies a picture of a cat, like "I’m in your bed sleeping." Not according to Prof. Crystal.【B11】"______. Will they be around in 50 years’ time? I would be very surprised."
