Today is #DictionaryDay! This is the dictionary that was presented to my parents on the day I was born. My dad literally read it to death; pages were falling out, it was pretty decrepid. On my XXth birthday, this arrived in the mail. Fully re-bound, my name in gold. Somewhere I have the companion editions: two binders with lists of words no longer in use that Dad thought should be, as well as every word that originally degraded women. . #dictionary #oxforddictionary #oxforduniversaldictionary #lexicography #words #wordsaboutwords #reboundbooks #mynameembossedingold #mynameonthebinding #myfirstbook #myfirstbirthdaypresent #words #books #read https://www.instagram.com/p/B3sIVFAJ88K/?igshid=q9uztf0lsjho
