Today's word is
Sorry I am putting this up a day late. TypePad was down yesterday for some maintenance.
Enjoy!

I am still terribly behind here, of course, but until I catch up, here are some articles from which my true love read to me while I lounged in the bath this morning. They are about dictionaries, the men who made some of the most famous ones, and the shockingly dirty-dealing dictionary business of the 19th century.
This seemed as good a place as any to post them. I hope you find them as diverting as we did.
From History House, "an irreverent history magazine":
- The Dictionary Wars I: Noah Webster
- The Dictionary Wars II: Webster vs. Worcester
- The Dictionary Wars III: Noah Webster
- Spelling, Schmelling
- The Definition of Crazy
Happy reading!
