Wondered about words?
Have you ever wondered about who was the first person who made English words? I did, when I was young. Every time I make up a new word of my own, I'd think that I will find that person someday and tell them my new word. I would create illusions like that when I was young. Now that I think about it, I think it is a mystery on who really made up the first English word. There are so many English words in the English language that I don't even know where the word-maker started. I would go to ELA with pride if I ever find out who was the first to make up an English word.

This sounds like a great idea for a research. I'd tell you though, you have to look at the invention of language first. English belongs to a family of languages like French, German, etc. These languages have similar features and origins. Let me know if you start finding out interesting things about this topic.
