Abstract
Names of objects change over a period of time. New words come up to keep in line with innovations and
technology. Neologism requires that the new word entrant should be concise, phonetically strong and resemble
the function towhich thewordmay be used. Internet language is the latest invention inwhich theword has been
so abbreviated that at times the user is frightened that its continuous usage would finally obliterate the real
word. To counter that threat old-timers adopt duality in action, i.e., they would use internet language while
using internet portfolio and would revert to the old language while scripting text. However, in certain cases it is
better to discard the old robe in favor of new when the coined word would instill more confidence and is in
harmony to the function it is required to perform. In this way the word is remembered accurately and used with
finesse. Presented in this paper is the strong defense for change of the word “sternum” to “saber” and reason
why this change is desired.
