Everyone               of               us               has               used               the               dictionary               or               thesaurus               at               least               for               one               time.

The               Webster's               Dictionary               is               one               of               the               oldest               and               famous               available               dictionaries.

Have               you               ever               wondered               what               Webster               is?

Or               to               be               more               accurate,               who               Webster               is?

Webster               comes               from               Noah               Webster               who               came               up               with               this               book               in               1828.

Born               in               October               16,               1758,               Webster               came               from               an               ordinary               colonial               family.

They               lived               at               the               time               when               most               people               made               a               living               by               farming.

His               family               led               a               simple               life               and               lived               on               his               father's               farming               and               weaving.
               At               the               time               that               he               was               16               years               old               and               ready               for               college,               few               people               actually               went               to               colleges.

Noah's               parents               must               have               seen               something               special               in               him,               and               they               knew               that               he               really               loved               to               learn.

His               parents               sent               him               to               go               to               Yale,               which               was               Connecticut's               only               college               at               that               time.

He               finished               in               1778               and               immediately               taught               in               Glastonbury,               Hartford               and               West               Hartford.

He               originally               wanted               to               study               law,               but               they               could               not               afford               it               at.

When               he               was               financially               able,               he               sent               himself               to               law               school.
               Webster               was               said               to               have               disliked               American               schools.

He               complained               that               the               rooms               were               cramped,               they               had               untrained               teachers,               and               that               the               books               came               from               England.

For               him,               it               seemed               strange               that               Americans               were               not               using               American               books.

This               led               him               to               write               his               own               textbook,               "A               Grammatical               Institute               of               the               English               Language".

This               actually               consisted               of               3               parts:               a               speller,               a               grammar,               and               a               reader.
               Webster               must               have               really               loved               the               languages,               because               he               tried               to               learn               26               different               languages               including               Anglo-Saxon               and               Sanskrit.

This               became               a               tool               for               his               research               for               his               own               country's               language.
               In               1801,               he               started               to               write               the               first               American               dictionary.

He               did               not               want               the               use               a               language               that               was               used               by               the               English.

His               main               purpose               was               to               create               a               single               language               spoken               by               all               Americans.

He               said               it               was               not               right               that               people               from               different               parts               of               the               country               spelled,               pronounced               and               used               words               differently.
               Webster               was               the               first               to               document               distinctively               American               vocabulary               such               as               "skunk",               "hickory"               and               "chowder".

He               urged               to               change               many               words               by               using               the               American               spelling,               instead               of               the               English               spelling.

Examples               include               changing               "musick"               to               "music",               "centre"               to               "center",               "plough"               to               "plow".
               Interestingly,               he               attempted               to               change               other               words               with               the               argument               that               he               was               using               the               old               and               true               spelling               of               words,               and               tried               to               spell               them               to               indicate               their               correct               pronunciation.

These               included               modifying               the               word               "tongue"               to               "tung"               and               "women"               to               "wimmen".

This               attempt               was               met               with               less               acceptance,               obviously.
               In               1828,               after               27               years,               Webster               was               able               to               complete               his               dictionary               at               age               70.

He               called               it               "An               American               Dictionary               of               the               English               Language".

The               dictionary               had               70,000               words               in               it.

Surprisingly,               the               first               edition               only               sold               2,500               copies.

Because               of               this,               he               was               even               forced               to               mortgage               his               house               so               he               could               come               out               with               the               second               edition               of               the               dictionary.

From               then               on,               he               was               plagued               with               debt               for               the               rest               of               his               life.
               It               took               Noah               Webster,               who               later               became               known               as               the               "Father               of               American               Scholarship               and               Education"               decades               to               complete               his               work.

It               was               not               considered               an               important               work               even               after               completing               the               second               edition.

Unfortunately,               until               the               time               that               he               died               in               1843,               his               work               was               still               unrecognized.
               Webster               would               be               pleased               to               know               that               today,               students               and               other               people               have               made               his               dictionary               a               very               important               tool               in               studying.

It               is               always               consulted               to               check               the               spelling               of               a               word,               its               syllables               and               how               it               is               pronounced.

So               every               time               you               would               use               the               dictionary,               give               a               little               recognition               to               the               man               who               came               up               with               one               of               the               most               useful               books               of               all               time.
