    Mike,

    The Story...
    Today is the birthday of Noah Webster, American teacher
    and well
    known lexicographer, is occasion to encourage every
    person to
    acquire at least one dictionary-and to use it
    regularly.

    I think of one episode of "Fat Albert And The Cosby Kids", where
    one of the characters says to this other individual that he should
    be called "dictionary...because no words can describe you".

    My favorite though is Whipster's Punabridged Dictionary. <G>
