A motel is usually for people who________. [br]
English speakers continue to invent new words by linking old words together. A good example is the words "motor" and "hotel". Many years ago someone linked them together into the word "motel". (14) A motel is a small hotel near the road where people travelling in cars can stay for the night. Other words come from the first letters of names of groups or devices. A device to find objects that cannot be seen called Radio Detecting and Ranging became "Radar". The North Atlantic Treaty Organization is usually called NATO. (15) Experts say that English has more words that explain the same thing than any other language. For example, the words "large," "huge," "vast," "massive," and "enormous" all mean something really "big". People often ask how many words there are in the English language. Well, no one really knows. (16)The Oxford English Dictionary lists about six hundred fifteen thousand words. Yet the many scientific words not in the dictionary could increase the number to almost one million. And experts are never really sure how to count English words. For example, the word "mouse", a mouse is a small creature having pointed nose and small ears with hairless tails. But "mouse" has another very different meaning. A "mouse" is also a hand-held device used to help control a computer, If you are counting words do you count "mouse" two times?
