'WikiLeaks' enters the English language
None
It happened to Xerox and more recently to Google, and now WikiLeaks has joined the list of proper names that are common enough to enter the English language as their own word.
"Wikileaks joins a number of new media and high technology companies whose names and functions are being incorporated into the language," said Paul JJ Payack, who heads Global Language Monitor (GLM). "These include Google, Twitter and the 'friending' function of Facebook." (Reuters)
