Burgess Unabridged: A new dictionary of words you have always needed

Yes, I have written a dictionary. Worcester and Webster are all right in their way, and Stormuth will do very well for Englishmenbut theyre not up to date. Mrs. Centurys book is a bit better and even old Dr. Standards Compendium of Useful Information includes my own words, bromide and sulphite. Its good enough for last year, but Burgess Unabridged will give the diction of the year 1915. For, the fact is, English is a growing language, and we have to let out the tucks so often, that no last seasons model will ever fit it. English isnt like French, which is corseted and gloved and clad and shod and hatted strictly according to the rules of the Immortals. We have no Academy, thank Heaven, to tell what is real English and what isnt. Our Grand Jury is that ubiquitous person, Usage, and we keep him pretty busy at his job. Hes a Progressive and what he likes, hell have, in spite of lexicographers, college professors and authors of His Complete Works. Thats the reason why English has ousted Volapk and Esperanto as a world language. It snuggles right down where you live and makes itself at home. How does English shape itself so comfortably to the body of our thought? With a new wrinkle here and a little more breadth there, with fancy trimmings, new styles, fresh materials and a genius for adapting itself to all sorts of wear. Everybody is working at it, tailoring it, fitting it, decorating it. There is no person so humble but that he can suggest an improvement that may easily become the reigning mode. ......Buy Now (To Read More)
