Good Job , especially since your comment contains two certification test answers
Top 7 Slang Words That Are Merriam-Webster Approved As we explained previously, Merriam-Webster officially adds words based on their usage. So, the more a word, phrase, or expression is used in different mediums, the more likely it is to earn an official dictionary definition. I find slang words particularly interesting because they represent how people communicate in everyday conversation at a specific moment in time. People looking back at text messages, Slack channels, and emails 10 years from now might wonder what the heck we meant when we said these things. With that in mind, let’s look at some informal words and sayings that are officially dictionary approved.
thanks!

Very Good, Thanks

fyi, wtf, and so on...
Viral: This term describes content that spreads rapidly online, often through social media platforms. As the internet and social media grew, "viral" became a common way to describe popular memes, videos, or trends that reach a large audience in a short amount of time.
Swipe: Popularized by dating apps like Tinder, "swipe" refers to the act of quickly browsing through profiles by swiping left or right on a touchscreen. This term entered popular vocabulary as dating apps became increasingly popular in the 2010s.
Troll: Originally referring to a mythical creature, "troll" took on a new meaning in the digital age to describe someone who intentionally provokes or harasses others online. As online communities grew, "trolling" became a widely recognized term for this type of behavior.
Hashtag: This term refers to a word or phrase preceded by the "#" symbol, used to categorize or make posts discoverable on social media platforms. As Twitter and other platforms popularized the use of hashtags, the term became an essential part of online communication.
Follower: This term describes someone who subscribes to another user's social media content, often to see their updates or posts in their feed. As social media platforms grew, "follower" became a key metric for measuring online influence and popularity.
BRAIN FADE is the temporary inability to concentrate or think clearly. HOT MESS is used to describe a person who is a complete mess and at the same time fascinating. JANKY when it is of dubious or poor quality.
The United States is a big country full of migrants from all over the world like Asia, Africa, Arabic countries, and Latin America, furthermore, in the United States co-exist a lot of accents. So the conditions for a strong evolution of the English language are done. . My question is, English will evolve in a better way? or it will degenerate?
When Latin evolved into "vulgar", everyone thought it was degenerating, but then all the Romance languages (Spanish, Portuguese, Italian, French, etc.) mostly came from this "vulgar" version; so it is questionable whether there is such a thing as "a denegenerate version" of a language.

Qué enseña esta clase?
¡Hola, Diego Mauricio! Entiendo que quieras tener claro el enfoque de esta sesión.
Esta clase explora cómo el inglés pasó de ser una lengua en constante cambio a convertirse en el idioma global que conocemos hoy. Los puntos clave son:
Para profundizar, te recomiendo revisar:
climate criminal*: noun.* a person, business, country, or other entity whose actions or activities are considered particularly destructive to the environment.
eco-hazardous*: adjective.* bad or dangerous for the environment. The opposite of eco-friendly.
climate refugee*: noun.* a person who has had to flee their home due to the negative effects of climate change.
atmospheric river*: noun. Meteorology.* a long, narrow corridor in the atmosphere that transports massive amounts of concentrated water vapor from the tropics: often responsible for extratropical cyclones and other extreme weather events, but also for commonly weaker systems of rain that replenish water supplies. Abbreviation: AR.
uncrewed*: adjective.* (especially of an aircraft, ship, or spacecraft) without the physical presence of a person or people in control. Useful as un-gendered alternative to unmanned. The opposite, crewed, is also a word.
unsee*: verb (used with object).* to remove (something seen) from one’s memory or conscious awareness; to forget or ignore images or the like. Commonly used in the negative, as in That’s something you can’t unsee.
I consider the GVS (Great Vowel Shift) one of the most important changes and transitions in the evolution of English over time.
