According to the news, Oxford University Press said it used "evidence-based data" to explore last year's language developments. "We saw new words emerge, and historical words resurface with new significance, as the English language developed rapidly to keep pace with the political upheaval and societal tensions that defined the year," they added. They divided their findings into some specific areas, among which we can find the language of Covid-19, and of Technology and remote working. For examples, two words that have seen a growth of more than 300% since March are remote and remotely. As for Zoom meetings, it will come as no surprise that the words mute and unmute have had a "significant rise in usage this year". Other words getting a lot more use include workcation (up 500%) - a holiday in which you also work - and staycation (up 380%) a holiday at home or in your home country.
