I'm not generally the kind of writer who reads dictionaries cover to cover. But I couldn't put this one down. This dictionary reminds you that not only is language a living, changing, entity -- it's also creative and powerful and personal. Just a few pages of this book will encourage you to lighten up and bravely approach your own prose.
Thank you, Gordon — your review made our day!
Collecting as it does hundreds and hundreds of all-vowel and all-consonant words from literature, Webster's Dictionary of Improbable Words is a word gamer's secret weapon. Pioneering lexicographer Noah Webster published his first Compendious Dictionary of the English Language in 1806. He spent decade after decade expanding his dictionary to make it more comprehensive. Webster's Dictionary of Improbable Words is a testament to the great wordsmith’s dedication.
