For those of you reading this in net.misc who have not been reading
net.singles:  This question of celibacy and chastity is in regards
to their "correct" definitions.

One of my English instructors in college made it a point to tell
us that the patent on Noah Webster's original English dictionary
expired a LONG time ago, and that any dictionary may now call itself
Webster's dictionary with perfect impunity.  That's why there are so
many of them running around loose these days; to most people, the name
"Webster" on a dictionary lends weight and credibility.

My reason for putting this in net.misc as well as net.singles, and my
question for all you out there in net.land, is:

What dictionary do YOU prefer?  Why?  Please respond via electronic
mail to me:
