The Global Language Monitor has identified Web 2.0 as the one-millionth word or phrase in the English language, according to Reuters. The U.S.-based language watch group, which tracks the frequency of words and phrases in print and electronic media using a math formula, spotted over 25,000 instances of Web 2.0, legitimizing the term according to the group’s principles. At least one linguist disagrees with the list, claiming that it’s impossible to count English words or phrases and that there are no set rules for defining English words or phrases. "I think it's pure fraud...It's not bad science. It's nonsense," Geoffrey Nunberg, a linguistics professor at the University of California at Berkeley, told reporters. Paul JJ Payack, president of the Global Language Monitor, rebuffed the criticism. "If you want to count the stars in the sky, you have to define what a star is first and then count. Our criteria is quite plain and if you follow those criteria you can count words. Most academics say what we are doing is very valuable," said Payack.
