How Dictionaries Are Made
It is widely believed that every word has a correct meaning, that we learn the meaning mainly from teacher and grammars, and that dictionaries and grammar books are the highest authority. in matters of meaning and usage, Few people ask by what authority the writers of dictionaries and grammars say what they say. I once got into an argument with an woman over the pronunciation of a word and offered to look it up in the dictionary. The English woman said firmly,“what for? I am English. I was born and brought up in England. The way I speak is English.” Such confidence about one’s own language is not uncommon among the English. In the United States, however anyone who is willing to quarrel with the dictionary is regarded as out of his mind.
