        REMEMBERING NOAH!

   Hi gang! I wonder how many of 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.

As of September 290 new words have been

added in 2023! Words such as "Simp."

A verb used to demonstrate devotion

or longing for someone or something.

I'd tell you about other words 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!
