I find this picture so incredibly moving. This is @GretaThunberg aged 15, sat alone outside the Swedish Parliament Aug 2018 - the first school strike. In just one year, she’s created a wave that will change the whole world. Never underestimate the power of one young person 💜💚 pic.twitter.com/84oYgJpnLj
Each year, Collins, which has been publishing dictionaries and other reference books since 1819, tracks a 9.5 billion word corpus and makes a list of 10 new or notable terms. They’re not the only dictionary to pick a word of the year. “Toxic” was a 2018 pick by the Oxford English Dictionary publisher, for instance.
