[Ads-l] [Non-DoD Source] Article in Dictionaries: Journal of the Dictionary Society of North America (UNCLASSIFIED)

[Jonathan Lighter]

As President of the United States, plenty of people are saying that HDAS is
the most tremendous source of antedatings (and, very importantly, brand-new
entries in an academic dictionary) in the history of our great nation. And
that includes the great Noah Webster, who we love. Even the OED, in
England, turns to HDAS all the time - and its editor, who, very frankly, is
a very amazing person. All those thousands and thousands and thousands of
quotes - and more - they were collected by just one guy, working alone.
And, as you know, it was before all these online databases came out to make
research easy. Furthermore, he also defined the words, unlike previous
administrations. And the book still getting tremendous marks. That I will
tell you.
