Watch the WORD
An initiative by Oxford Dictionaries and Oxford Fajar, 'Save the Words' project asks people to 'adopt' an underused word and take an oath to save it from extinction
You may not know, but words are an endangered species. Just like sparrows, tigers and vultures, there are certain words that too are facing the threat of extinction. Thanks to the slang and text language, words that are no longer used in conversation and written communication are dropped from the Oxford English Dictionary.

Show me the money, honey!
Good looks or a sense of humour are increasingly taking a back seat to money when it comes to the criteria women use to find a partner, according to new research in Germany. It said that with women getting better jobs, they are looking for their men to have a spending power to match.
The Cologne-based Institute for the German Economy claimed women quizzed in a survey said they wanted to avoid stress and confrontation over big differences in
earnings. The findings showed that the number of households in which one person earns much more than the other has decreased in the 10 years between 1998 and 2008.
