<BR /><DIV>
Oxford University Press researchers looked on the internet at newspapers, journals, fictions and weblogs to take a snapshot of our everyday language.</DIV>
<BR /><DIV>
“Person” was ranked at number two, while “man” reached number seven and “woman” was behind at number 14.</DIV>
<BR /><DIV>
The new “common words” section put “work” in 15th place, but “play” and “rest” were not in the top 100 nouns.</DIV>

The section is included in the revised 11th edition of the Concise Oxford English Dictionary, which is viewed as a guide to our evolving language.</P></blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/87DCB9E5-2BB9-49A0-88AA-92EA3CCA96C2/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content9.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
