The storm of abuse in the popular press that greeted the appearance of Webster's Third New International Dictionary is a curious phenomenon. 1 The New York Times,in a special editorial,felt that the work would "accelerate the deterioration" of the language and seriously accused the editors of betraying a public trust. The Journal of the American Bar Association saw the publication as "a serious blow to the cause of good English".
2 Just what's a dictionary for? What does the common reader go to a dictionary to find?
The demands are simple. 3 He wants to know what is current and respectable. But he wants―and has a right to―the truth,the full truth. And the full truth about any language is that there are many areas in which certainty is impossible and simplification is misleading.
Even in so settled a matter as spelling,a dictionary cannot always be absolute. 4 And so are traveled and travelled,plow and plough,catalog and catalogue,and scores of other variants. The reader may want a single certainty. He may demand that the dictionary "settle" the matter. 5 And the fact here is that there are many words in our language which may be spelled,with equal correctness,in either of two ways.
But one thing is certain：anyone who seriously announces in the year 1962 that he will be guided in matters of English usage by a dictionary published in 1934 is talking ignorant and pretentious nonsense.
A. Such evaluation requires us to examine basic principles.
B. But this is not the concern of the dictionary's; it must record the facts.
C. Never has a scholarly work of this importance been attacked with such extreme anger and contempt.
D. As a reader,he wants to know what an author intended to convey.
E. The common reader turns to a dictionary for information about the spelling,pronunciation,meaning,and proper use of words.
F. Theater is correct,but so is theatre.
G. The new dictionary has many faults.
