English Log 5, Vocab

Here is my first document containing a few usefull (sometimes unknown words - at least to me) words I picked up while reading through the texts for Welland's class.
I'm really looking foreward to our class today - the topic we're working on right now is very interesting and worth discussing. English is such an important language nowadays and spreads all around the world. By doing so it is constantly exposed to other languages, cultures, accents, dialects etc. therefore it is in permanent change. I believe that not only non-english languages are affected by the "world-domination" of English but also American or British English are strongly influenced.
Language is like chicken masala. First, the English arrived in India, they liked their food - brought it to Britain (or at least Indian immigrants brought it there). At this stage it was adapted to the English taste and finally brought back to India, where today you can find Indian-British Chicken Masala. The same happens with English. It travels around the world and every now and then it comes back home and changes the "original" British or American English. Enough for today, we'll speak about this in class anyway.
