Subject: OFF: changes in the English language
Morning everyone!

Does anyone here know where to find (preferably on-line) the most recent changes to the English language (last few years)? Possibly a source which has regular updates?

Thanks very much!

No I mean:

Additions of newly "accepted" words
changes to grammar rules
changes to style rules/punctuation rules

Accepted changes to the official English language.

recent - so the last 10 years, really. Even just the last 5 + regular updates, would be good enough.

Thank you. Do you have any idea where to find the most recent grammar/punctuation/other changes? That is the part I am really struggling with. I never thought it would be so hard to find the organization responsible for that or the contents of their decisions.

If anyone happens upon at least the name of the organization/commission reaponsible for approving official changes to the language, please let me know. I still can't find it.

Thanks!
