Here is some semantic food for thought. The BBC News Online ran this 
article today, 'Tingo, nakkele and other wonders', with the caption: 
'English is a rich and innovative language. But you can't help feeling we're 
missing out.'

It's at http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/uk_news/magazine/4248494.stm

Enjoy!
