Words, words, words


An article from the July/August 2009 Humanities (the magazine of the NEH), recalls the importance (and reception) of a familiar friend:

Ain’t That the Truth. Webster’s Third: The Most Controversial Dictionary in the World

The story is probably familiar already to Chris, our in-house historian of lexicography, but may be interesting to those of us (including me) who are reading it for the first time. Enjoy!
