Akwaaba is more than a translation of the English word, welcome. When you hear Akwaaba at hotels and entry points, it makes you feel like a guest. The closest English word to Akwaaba is WELCOMENESS. Merely replacing it by another word may not have the same connotation.

ENGLISH: The West needs to stand up for itself. English is not a bastard language. New Zealand's official languages are Māori and sign language - not English.

There's a word you say every day that used to be a genuine prayer for someone's survival. The English language spent 500 years gutting the meaning out of it and you never noticed.

170k words in the English language and none of them fully describe what Trudeau does. Gaslighting and hypocrisy don't quite capture it... So I want the Oxford English Dictionary to add a new word: Trudeauing

At the top of the Coquihalla Highway in B.C., I tried talking to a truck driver and he couldn't speak a word of English. English is one of Canada's official languages—and the language most Canadians use on the road, in emergencies, and in daily life. How is this happening in 2026? 🇨🇦 SUPPORT MY WORK

English has been remarkably adaptive, incorporating words from virtually every language it came into contact with, making it one of the most expansive in terms of vocabulary. This adaptability has made English not just a national language but a global lingua franca, used in international business, science, technology, and culture. The evolution of English words reflects not only linguistic changes but also the cultural, political, and technological shifts of the societies that spoke it.

Onew clarifying with the crowd letting everyone know he was NOT saying the English n word but rather “i am” in Korean . Very culturally aware, love that for him. If Onew knows that word then there’s no excuse for these other idols! #ONEWTHELIVE_CHICAGO #ONEWTHELIVE_USA

#WATCH | While interacting with students in Rae Bareli today, Congress MP Rahul Gandhi said, "People from BJP-RSS say that one should not learn the English language. Mohan Bhagwat says we should not speak in English. But the English language is a weapon, if you learn this language, you can go anywhere, be it Tamil Nadu, Japan or Mumbai or work in any company...They want you not to learn English because where this language is used, they don't want Dalits, Adivasis and the poor not to come there. But English is your biggest weapon...Hindi is also important, it is not right to cut your roots...But English is also very important."
