One new English word every 98 minutes

Hi All --

Here's some food for thought.

According to the Global Language Monitor (
http://www.languagemonitor.com/no-of-words ), there's a new English word
with significant usage every 98 minutes.

So, does this strengthen the case for controlled vocabularies, or indicate
that the task of controlling the English language is hopeless?

                                                Cheers,  -- Adrian
