Whether in technology, at work, health or daily, new expressions are emerging with the time
Language is in constant transformation, and new words come all the time to account for social, cultural and technological changes.
Some of these words are used so often that they are studied for possible inclusion in official dictionaries.
We often don’t even notice, but we incorporate these into our daily vocabulary.
