I just read another blog post about unfriend being added to the dictionary. I wondered why saying ‘I will remove you as a friend’ had become too hard and we simply say ‘I will unfriend you’. It is very 1984 but at the same time, language does change and this change isn’t being thrust upon us from above, this is being adopted and used by people and only finally being formally acknowledged.
