Dictionary Enablers
Feb. 12th, 2007 08:48 amSo, a couple of days ago, I was looking in my top desk drawer for an envelope of papers my parents had sent me a couple of years ago. And I found it. But, along with the envelope, I found something else -- a Barnes & Noble gift certificate (yes, an actual certificate, thus indicating that it was from a decent interval of time ago) from ![[profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
530nm330hz and introverte. mabfan and I had another B&N gift card, as well (this one much newer, a winter gift from some friends), so we figured we'd head off to B&N and do some book-related purchasing.
In the end, we ended up with a number of good books. One of them was Merriam-Webster's Collegiate Dictionary, 11th Edition (AKA 11C). It's been a good long while since I bought an M-W Collegiate (I believe I have a 9C from late high school/early college), so we were due.
But this is not the first time that530nm330hz and introverte have been involved in expanding my dictionary collection. When I graduated from college, they and vettecat gave me the Webster's Third New International Dictionary (AKA NI3) that sits on my dictionary shelf next to my OED (which my parents got me for my 30th birthday).
I'm very lucky to have friends who understand the value of a good dictionary. :-)
