New Dictionary

Members and visitors to this site might be interested in the release of the fif and final volume of the American Dictionary of Regional English. The story itself in the NYT is interesting: http://www.nytimes.com/2012/02/25/books ... olume.html

It took me a while to get to it, but, yes, this is an interesting topic and I wish I could get a set of the dictionary. I do believe it's also time to start the whole thing over. Our language has changed a great deal in just the last 5 years.
