OT: Re: [Ayuda] Panic, me suena a dramatico, que es en realidad?

[Raymond Hall]

Disculpen, pero no puedo resistir la tentación cuando escucho estos
"arumentos".... me recuerdan a Francisco Barrio "argumentando" que el DF
es subsidiado.
Pa'resumir, el español cuenta con unas 75,000 palabras de uso común. El
Inglés con unas 100,000.
Y esto ndad tiene que ver con nacionalismos o patrioterismos...
Ya nomás pa'cabar:

Panic Pan"ic, n. Gr. ? (with or without ? fear): cf. F.
   panigue. See Panic, a.
   1. A sudden, overpowering fright; esp., a sudden and
      groundless fright; terror inspired by a trifling cause or
      a misapprehension of danger; as, the troops were seized
      with a panic; they fled in a panic.

Osea, el kernel se queda aterido de miedo... no sabe que hacer,
pobrecito sin su root, y se paniquea.

As we enter the Twenty First Century, English is the most widely spoken
and written language on Earth. English was first spoken in Britain by
Germanic tribes in Fifth Century AD also known as the Old English
(Anglo-Saxon) period. During the Middle English period (1150-1500 AD), a
lot of the Old English word endings were replaced by prepositions like
by, with, and from. We are now in the Modern English period which
started in the Sixteenth Century.

The number of words in English has grown from 50,000 to 60,000 words in
Old English to about a million today. There are a number of ways in
which the English vocabulary increases. The principal way in which it
grows is by borrowing words from other languages. About 80% of the
entries in any English dictionary are borrowed, mainly from Latin.
Another way is by combining words into one word such as housewife,
greenhouse, and overdue. The addition of prefixes and suffixes to words
also increases the immense vocabulary of the English language.

Today, more than 750 million people use the English language. An average
educated person knows about 20,000 words and uses about 2,000 words in a
week. Despite its widespread use, there are only about 350 million
people who use it as their mother tongue. It is the official language of
the Olympics. More than half of the world's technical and scientific
periodicals as well three quarters of the world's mail, and its telexes
and cables are in English. About 80% of the information stored in the
world's computers (such as this text) are also in English. English is
also transmitted to more than 100 million people everyday by 5 of the
largest broadcasting companies (CBS, NBC, ABC, BBC, CBC). It seems like
English will remain the most widely used language for some time.

Salu2,
