Filed under: The Catbird Seat: Friends & Guests Tagged: books, cartoons, comics, contests, dictionaries, Paul Morris, punctuation, The Wavy Rule
Paul explains today’s pleasantly frosty “Wavy Rule”:
My inspiration comes from my re-reading of that wonderful book by Simon Winchester, The Meaning of Everything: The Story of the Oxford English Dictionary. A must-read. (Oh, and I’m all out of Augie Vasterbotten the Lexicographer commemorative T-shirts.)
