0 Hello, 02 br
02 br
00 Just a question thats bugging me. Im a born Brit and lived in england until i was 21 ish. 02 br
02 br
00 I now live in the netherlands since then (am now 50)and it still bugs me sometimes the use of some english words in the every day dutch converstation that are either out of context or just plain wrong. Normally I can give an explanation to what i think is wrong but lately i have come across a new fad word here and that is "wellness" is this a noun or not? im not convinced. 02 br
02 br
00 Thanks 02 br

00 The Cambridge Dictionary notes that "wellness" is used in American English, so you may well be reacting to the fact that it is apparently fairly uncommon (or not used) in British English. 02 br

00 The word "wellness" has been around long enough in American English that it cannot be simply written off as a fad on this side of the pond
