The millionth English word

There's been a lot of tweeting about the millionth English word just announced, but a BBC article questions whether the new word is the millionth.

The article points out that the exact size of English vocabulary is impossible to quantify. If you count every technical term, there are more than a million words. If you don't count "specialist slang" there are perhaps three quarters of a million words.

And the millionth English word is…? (Hint: it's internet-related!)
