Once or twice a year, we invite you, just for fun, just as a light Sunday afternoon reading tip, to join us and find out what we celebrate on that given day around the world...
In music, when new artists appear, we talk about one-hit wonders and real stars with long-lasting fame and recognition. It’s the same with new words in a language.
