The words we use in day to day life are often influenced by culture and even social media
A language expert has revealed the commonly used words today that are likely to die out in the next two decades.
"Pronouns will be one of the slowest types of word to change, because they are quite intrinsic. But using 'they' and 'them' is something which we'll get used to and in a few years will feel completely normal. Neil said: "Probably in fifteen years' time, a fax will sound as quaint as phonograph. He reckons the word 'sick' - the slang phrase used to mean 'good' or 'cool' by teenagers - will be lost too.
"So I think, at least in 'polite' contexts like work, we might start to feel a bit squeamish about that one." Neil highlighted some other trends which he expects to see develop over the next 15 years in pursuit of political correctness.
