New Word - "Selfie"

A few days ago we mentioned how flexible the English language is. The word "selfie" is a great example here! Last November the Oxford Dictionaries announced selfie as their international Word of the Year 2013.

A few years ago nobody even heard about this word while now it's one of the most frequently used words in the world of the Social Networking.  Within 2013 it's been rapidly rising from less than 1000 encounters per day back in January to more than 5000 in October. Just check you Facebook account and see how many of those you can see everyday :-)
