I posted an entry about Globish on Jan. 4, 2013.

Recently, my friend Annie introduced a website "Globish Words Explained in English" in a book we co-wrote for 9th graders.

When I went over it, I was surprised to find that both "president" and "election" are not on the list. While I can easily guess that in Globish, "president" can be easily put as "leader of a country," I wonder how this simplified language says "election."

Let's compare its definition of "elastic," with that in a popular dictionary Macmillan. This website defined "elastic" as "having the quality of springing back." The definition of "elastic" given in Macmillan Dictionary is: something that is elastic can be stretched easily and can then return to its original shape quickly.
