Dictionary Evangelist: Liveblogging the Dictionary Society Conference, Day 1

Liveblogging the Dictionary Society Conference, Day 1

There have been some great presentations already today, the first day of the Dictionary Society of North America conference, but I figured the internets, as a whole, would appreciate this particular slide:

You will notice, as Joe Pickett points out (in a discussion of how dictionaries treat imaginary beings) how specific the Merriam-Webster definition is. What does Springfield know that we don't know?

oops, the original pic was over 400KB+ and shrunk down to the point where it's not legible. I'd love to see a larger rendering of the dictionary entry. :-)

Looking forward to more posts from the conference and can't wait to hear how the live mic night will turn not. Will link over to your posts from Geeknews .

Have fun!
