Dictionary Day - Contemporaries dismissed Noah Webster's work, but his tenacity—his dictionary took 27 years to complete—made our language what it is today.

Cover page of Webster's New International Dictionary from 1925, published by G. & C. Merriam Company in Springfield, Massachusetts.
1925 dictionary page showing "telford" after "teleutospore." There was no entry for "television."
1925 dictionary entry for "telephone" with an illustration.
Today is #DictionaryDay, so I celebrate by sharing my treasured Webster's New International from 1925, when "television" wasn't an entry yet and telephones looked strikingly different. I'm told my grandmother worked for @merriam-webster.com in Springfield, MA the '20s. Not sure what she did there.

Sir Thomas Elyot
Happy #DictionaryDay! 📖
Sir Thomas Elyot's Latin-English dictionary (1538), was the first book to be titled a "dictionary". It was a pioneering work based on a humanistic approach, introducing many words into English. 📜
We have a microfiche version of Elyot's dictionary here: bit.ly/4ncQoQa

Today’s word: psy·chi·a·try — Psychiatry is the branch of medicine focused on the diagnosis, treatment and prevention of mental, emotional and behavioral disorders.
Because mental wellness matters just as much as physical health 💙

Cover of A is for Arsenic: An ABC of Victorian Death, by Chris Woodyard and Landis Blair. Blue-grey background with weeping Victorian mourners flanking a skull-topped tomb with a willow behind it.
List of topics in A is for Arsenic by Chris Woodyard
It's #DictionaryDay, so, naturally, I'll tout my own Victorian death dictionary, with its list of topics, so brilliantly illustrated by @landisblair.bsky.social. Available worldwide, so your local bookstore or library can easily order it.

Happy Dictionary Day! On this day 267 years ago, Noah Webster–lexicographer, language reformer, and Father of the American Dictionary–was born.
When was the last time you opened a dictionary to learn a new word, and what was it?

On #DictionaryDay we're delighted to share obscure words! For instance, you might get bumfuzzle, but do you know whether you're callipygian? Just look at your thighs... Our word today is PANDICULATION. We hadn't heard of it. What do you think? 🤓

Il paraît qu’on souligne aujourd’hui #DictionaryDay en souvenir du lexicographe américain Noah Webster, né le 16 octobre 1758.
J’ai décidé d’apporter une touche québécoise avec cette photo de quelques dictionnaires faits chez nous.

Photo of a shelf of dictionaries from large ones to tiny ones - mostly English, some French, Italian, and Irish. Battered from use.
Happy #DictionaryDay! Here's my dictionary shelf (tidied for pic as it's usually in use) - featuring my first dictionary (New Collins Compact), my mum's crossword dictionary, and others I've gathered along the way. Online dictionaries rock, but nothing beats a dictionary shelf 📚
