discover how dictionaries are made

I love reading books and writing short stories but the problem is I have a poor vocabulary…..so I must consult my dictionary.Now my vocabulary become richer and richer…..and more richer.

I found out how important the dictionary was…..and because of that I am starting to gather information about the history of dictionary and I am hoping that one day I can write my own book with the right words.

my mum bought my lost dictionary book back! Along with piles and piles of Spike Milligans and Andy McNabs. None of which I’m allowed to read until rooms are painted and boxes are opened (or hidden, hehe).

It’s a fair deal, given my ability to sit and read and not notice unpainted rooms go by. But she’s gone to bed now so I’m going to have a midnight bookfeast :)

it has one ‘n’. The SHAME.

Okay if I have ever ever in my life become annoyed with other people’s spelling, grammar or punctuation, may God strike me down.

I’m going to regret saying that.

writing that. Does dictionary have one n or two? Haaa haa I would out-ironize myself if it’s only got one. I shall start with looking it up.

I really do want to know though. I’ve always wanted to know. I have so many questions. I almost don’t want the answer because I daydream about this so much. But then I have to daydream less, so am going to try and find out.
