I have just heard that the millionth word (or phrase apparently) to be counted is Web 2.0

I cannot believe this for so many reasons, firstly because it is not a word - but secondly and more importantly it is something which has slowly become a phrase for ridicule due to the amount of "web 2.0 experts" out there..... Just see my previous post from earlier today.....
I cannot tell you how ironic, funny and downright stupid this feels to me. When i next hear the mention of the Global Language Monitor again, I am afraid that will be followed by not much more than a chuckle.
