Abbreviation, pronunciation of Green's dict.

[Jesse Sheidlower]

Authorial intent may be out of style in some disciplines
nowadays, but perhaps not in ours.

Jonathon Green's preferred abbreviation for his new dictionary
is GDoS, thus capitalized, and conveniently enough pronounced
"GEE-dahs", as the newspapers might choose to render it. I
think we should all rally round his choice in the matter!
