As of early this afternoon, I am now able to say that for the first time in my life, I have read a dictionary. From the letter A,a, through the letter Z.z. Read every word, every definition and proper pronunciation.
Thus, the title of this entry. Folks, I read a dictionary. Oh yes, I did. It was "The New International Webster's Standard Dictionary," and it was a true reading experience. I found incorrect spellings. Incomplete definitions, words within definitions that the "dictionary" did not have definitions for. I found a racially twisted definition and definitions that were more like justifications or printing vague definitions.
This experience was and is a truly different reading material for me. I did enjoy it and I even highlighted special words or definitions, and yes, the errors too. I had to. So, it's like this: I did say I enjoyed it, but I am irritated as all get out with the way my customer satisfaction is concerned.
I purchased this book to read and learn. I did...but I did not, en'it?
...Now I want more...maybe if I'm a good boy Santa will bring me one for Christmas. Oh, Santa! If you see this blog/note, I have been a good boy! No, REALLY! And all I want is a dictionary I can read, enjoy and learn from. Please, Santa, not one of those that weigh so dang much I might could pull a muscle in my back...you know which ones I'm talking about Santa! I miss you very much! I will see you real soon!
Walking the Path...
...it's only me, Mario
