Collins English Dictionary Names Its 'Word Of The Year'
The 2015 Collins Word of the Year has been revealed as 'binge-watch'.
The verb, which means "to watch a large number of television programmes (especially all the shows from one series) in succession", is said to reflect a change in how people watch television, due to subscription services like Netflix and iPlayer.
Since 2014, usage of the word is said to have increased by 200%.
The other 'Words of the Year' to make the list are: clean eating, contactless, Corbynomics, dadbod, ghosting, manspreading, shaming, swipe and transgender.
A definition of each can be found via the Collins Dictionary website here.
Work Commences On £65m Facility In Wrexham
Work to construct a new £65m European Adhesive Resin Facility for Cytec Industries Inc is underway in Wrexham. It is thought around 50 highly-skilled jobs will be created in the area through the new facility.
Marking the start of the project, Wales' Economy Minister Edwina Hart said: "This is a major investment by Cytec and great news for Wrexham and for Wales and a good example of how innovative solutions can be found to encourage inward investment into Wales, to develop and sustain manufacturing and technical jobs."
Cytec Aerospace Materials supplies composite materials for the commercial and military aerospace markets, manufacturing advance material solutions for aerospace applications including primary and secondary structures, interiors, engines and nacelles.
The new facility is opposite Cytec's existing manufacturing plant on Wrexham Industrial Estate, and will primarily supply their EU and Asia-Pacific customers and meet the growing worldwide demand for their products.
