 National Dictionary Day

It's National Dictionary Day, as it celebrates the birthday of Noah Webster - a man who studied 26 languages, in order to better understand English.

A friend of mine, who recently died, had made it a youthful goal to read every single word in the dictionary.

I don't know if he accomplished the task in his seventy-two years of life, but he was the most well-spoken man that I have ever met, bedazzling one with unfamiliar words with every turn of phrase, or in this case, turn of page

So, maybe he did make it to the end of his book.

And I bet he'd be pleased with me making use use of the word bedazzled too.
