IN HONOR OF NOAH!
Hi gang! I'm taking a break from vacation
(a very short break) to make sure you are
aware this is "Dictionary Day!" October
16th was selected as the perfect date as it
was the birthday of Noah Webster, considered
to be the father of the American Dictionary.
Mr. Webster began work on his dictionary
when he was 43-years-old. It took him 27
years to complete his work. But, in reality,
work on the dictionary never really stopped.
New words continue to be added every
year. "Zoom" is a good example. The
new use for the word Zoom has to do with
computer generated meetings between
various people as opposed to "zoom"
as in very fast speed. 15 new words have
been added to the 2022 dictionary already.
I'd tell you what those words are but I
can't. I can't look them up because I
don't know who to spell them! I've been
telling my teachers that for years. But
they kept sending me to the dictionary.
Maybe I'll just Goggle them! Hope you're
up to date on your words and that all
your NEWS is good!
