I think you put into words something I couldn’t articulate, but only feel.

This last year, I’ve been collecting dictionaries from different publishers and epochs. I now find it fun to compare word definitions from one decade to the next. This is not something I could have seen myself do, only a few years back.

Maybe the attack on language is giving me a new appreciation for words and their meanings.

That's a perfect comparison and incredibly hilarious.

I would like to get my hands on an old huge dictionary from the 1950s or so.
