The English language has included a new word: wikileaks. This word meets the requisite criteria of geographic reach as well as ‘depth and breadth’ of recorded usage, according to the GLM. The word ‘wiki’ is Hawaiian in origin and is usually defined as ‘quick’ or ‘fast’ especially when used in rapid succession:  ”wiki, wiki, wiki!”; and of course, we all know what a ‘leak’ is: to become known despite efforts at concealment.

In computing, a wiki describes software that lets users create or edit Web-server content.  The WikiLeaks organization was originally set-up as a ‘wiki’. Wikileaks now joins a number of new media and high technology companies whose names and functions are being incorporated into the English language. These include Google, Twitter and Facebook.

There is, however, controversy regarding the total number of words in English. The number of words in the English language, according to the estimates by the Global Language Monitor in early February 2011, is :  1,008,879.
