The top word of 2014 isn’t even a word, but an emoji: the heart emoji to be exact.
This is the 15th that media company Global Language Monitor has unveiled what it says are the most commonly used words, phrases and names.
“We have millions of sources that we check,” says Paul J.J. Payack, president and chief word analyst at the GLM. “We look at the 275,000 top newspapers in the world, books, social media, and several million blogs. Specifically, the heart emoji went wild, showing up millions of times a day.”
