You may watch Ms Mckean's talk below and then comment about it at the end of this post, ok ?The video takes about seven minutes so get ready to write down the four reasons she gives us not to be afraid to make up new words in English,all right?

Have you listened to any of the words Ms.Mckean mentions in her talk ? Do you agree with Ms Mckean that "new words grab people's attention"? Did you know that almost any English word can be verbed ?
