Thanks!!!

Good luck in your endeavor, Commander.

I am spending a lot of time.
The States are beginning Assembly under original jurisdictions. I am Moderator interim for WI
Begin with Treaty of Verona and its rebuttal The Magna Carta. Down the hole you go.

+100 if I could! Awesome set of links! I will explore this more or, better yet, find a way to download and preserve it for future use. I couldn't spend a lot of time there right now.

For example one of the phrases of the 19th century translation of "The Iliad" is "Well greaved Acheans" (my spell checker is grumbling about greaved and Acheans right now). I understood Acheans to be Greeks due to context, but couldn't figure out greaved. As it turns out Acheans are a subset of the Greek alliance attacking Troy and greaves are most specifically leg armor or generally armor overall. Therefore the Acheans were part of the Greek army and were well armored. The name Acheans and the word greave both appear in this old dictionary as well as my old dictionary, but not in my modern ones, nor in my spell checker dictionary.

Edit add: It's a shame that so much is being lost over time - some deliberately.

I understand your plight, Artificiarius, as words or original definitions of words seem to have been disappearing over the past few decades. I managed to find a giant, but tattered, dictionary from early 20th century at a garage sale for 10 cents about 10 years ago. It comes in handy now and then when the Internet gets stumped or doesn't seem right (Was reading a 19th century translation of "The Iliad" and some of the words were a mystery until that old dictionary helped me out - It's a treasure!). Good luck finding a decent 19th century version at a reasonable price.

Who has a definitive circa 1800 dictionary? I need one. i have been working on understanding the DoI, the AoC, the Constitution, and the BoR. An interlinear version of these documents just might calm some waters.

We always had a "Webster" Dictionary . . .family on my mothers side thought they were related through Taft.

PS. The little girl was using the new definition of "Cute" 1959 What ever that was/what ever it is now.

Was that Websters Mason/Dixon edition?

My first exp. with changing definitions was with the word "Cute", back then in an old dictionary, it wasn't about pretty or attractive, it was about "So Ugly" one might be considered interesting. . . I was devastated at 7 years old!

When researching the return to common law it is necessary to know the definitions of the time.
The US Constitution, The Dec of Ind. and many treaties were written using this language. I have to have these for interpretation that I may teach new Assembly members. Wisconsin Constitution is also based upon this. Many of these definitions have been changed over time ..... ya know .... like "Virus or Vaccination".

Excellent idea! I've got an old 1980 paperback dictionary that check out occasionally, but 1828 would be awesome!

I've been disturbed by all the misuse of recent language.
So I got my computer busy downloading Websters 1828 dictionary.

Miles Davis... nuff said.

GOOD FOR YOU!

Thanks, OUC, for a great week ender. "KInda like vegans". I'm gonna use that next time I hear anyone insult walking sirloin steaks.

OOOoooH, I can just imagine all the made up things paper can do to rock and scissors!

Rock, paper, scissors.....a better way to make decisions than the current gov't. Thanks OUC

Some funny memes there bro ThanQ

It was quite pleasant, thank you.

Yea, learning the lies of the past gets me disturbed also . . .

In my younger days perhaps but no yoga for me these days.

I hope the rest of your evening was pleasant, though.
