As we slowly emerge from a rather extraordinary period in human history, it\u2019s not only the way we work, shop, get about<\/strong> and interact that has changed. Many words, both pre-existing and entirely novel, have entered into everyday usage. Below is a selection of our favourites that will help you build your vocabulary bank\u2026<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n Unprecented use of the word unprecedented<\/strong><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n The last few months have been nothing short of unique, once in a lifetime, without precedent. Billions of us have been confined to our homes, millions have lost their jobs and too many have sadly lost their lives as a result of this pandemic. One word\u2019s usage has risen to great heights during this period. Use of the word unprecedented, an adjective defined in the Oxford Learner\u2019s Dictionary<\/a> as something \u201cthat has never happened, been done or known before\u201d, rose to levels never before seen or recorded. It\u2019s fair to say that, given this definition, we are in truly unprecedented times. However the use of the word, also rose to unprecedented levels (sorry for this unprecedented use of the word), as seen by the Google Trends data for the last 12 months.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
