Unhap- pily he did not live to see it completed for he died six years ago. And what a task it was! Think of the problems that had to be decided. There were several spellings of this word. Which was the correct one? There were two or even three ways of pronouncing the next; the right way must be decided upon. Was the next one slang, or could it be called good English? Every word had to be examined carefully; its derivation must be found, and if it had changed its mean- ing, a history of it must be written illustrated by quotations from many writers. Not a Hoot.
