I remember ever since I was a teenager. I’ve enjoyed etymology finding out how words evolved. This book is about how dictionaries evolved and their cousins such as thesaurus and etymology and grammar books, etc.
I’ve found it really fascinating all the actual intrigue going on between the, many of them brilliant, people who helped define the English language. Reading this book is far from being a drudgery.
