In my 2nd edition, on page 1391, under the word “statesman”, please make the following improvement: cut and paste a picture of Arkansas’ former United States Senator, Dale Bumpers. For the text, just insert, in its entirety, his testimony of 1-21-99 to those yahoos currently in the United States Senate. Thank you. Jo Ann Nash, 11300 Tanya Trail, Austin, TX 78726

It takes a lot of work to tease a coherent plot out of this baby. But I’m used to reading Pynchon, so what the hey.

My wife of thirty years, Doris, and I are both short in stature. In fact we have to sit on something while driving in order to see properly and Webster’s has been our booster seat of choice for many, many years. In our early years of marriage, like many young couples, we could only afford the paperback edition. Last year on the day of our wedding anniversary, my ever so thoughtful Doris presented me with this deluxe, leather bound edition! I wept with joy and thought only in America, only in America!

I enjoyed the real down to earth definitions of many words. One fatal flaw I found with this dicitonary was that many common words were mispelled such as CAT and COMPUTER. Overall this a valuable resource for many!
