Proroguing - Language comes and goes

Today is a word that has bombarded the media. Proroguing is a word that I have not come across before. It came to light when the UK prime minister has used this unique part of parliamentary legislation - Proroguing

What is it?
'Proroguing: verb - discontinue a session of (a parliament or other legislative assembly) without dissolving it.' - Oxford dictionary

Who, what, when
Looking at the usage history of the word, it seems like it was massive in the 1800's. As time marches on, society evolves, language changes. The nice thing with technology, we can see and compare the frequency of words in literature.

Use of proroguing in literature over time

Trending
Although this word is not new, it is very specific and probably the reason why it is has been harder to slip into general literature and conversation. Try it...it may trend once again.

iAi - Intelligent Artificial Intelligence

We are in the exciting new frontier of Artificial Intelligence (AI). AI is hidden in a lot technology and is revolutionising the way we work, or not work so to speak. The machine learning helps cut time, save money as it works tirelessly without needing a toilet break. Where is it going? INTELLIGENCE + AI = iAi As we rely more on machine based deep learning, there are going to be future issues that will need to be addressed. Who will police it? Like AI injustice for example. Where AI has made a judgement and it is simply wrong, but what can be done about it! Questions will be asked - Is the AI decision correct, fair or legal? There is a solution. I envisage this injustice will manifest in a new service 'Intelligent Artificial Intelligence' checkers or iAi for short! AI police I can see iAi will becoming a societal safety net, spotting blips, wrong decisions or any coding issues that shape potentially bad decisions. It could possibly become another police force in th...
