Fascinating facts about English

English is mainly a mix of Old High German, Old Norse, and Anglo-Norman. We only started speaking recognisable Modern English in the 14th Century.
 Most English grammar and spelling follow the standardised rules set out in Dr Johnson’s Dictionary, which was published in 1755.
 Approximately,  one new word is added to the English language every two hours and around 4,000 new wordsare added to the English dictionary every year.
