Webster - A Hip and Happenin Dude!

Okay, rather random post I'm aware. However, I'm sure my readers expect nothing different from me by now.

I just started typing a post about our weekend/holiday festivities and came upon a word I wasn't sure how to spell. Yes, I'm obsessed with spelling and big words, and find myself actually proof-reading as I read anything/everything. It's such dissapointment when I see poor spelling or people mistaking words such as "wood" and "would" - poor example but I'm sure you get my jest. And no, this isn't a way to scare or amp up the performance pressure on my fellow blogger friends out there. I only make fun of people I DON'T know....all others I just nod my head in shame and quietly utter a "tisk tisk"....hehehe. Anyway, on to the actual "meat" of this post....

So, as I'm blogging about my latest events I decide I need help spelling "Rendesvouz" - after all it is a pretty tricky word! And I decide to consult my trusted friend Mr. Webster's site. Shockingly Mr. Webster has never heard of this word or else chooses not to post it's definition or spelling on his website. However, check out some of the other "words" I come across in my hunt for an actual legitimate real word. Very sad but rather humorous. Pay special attention to the actual phrases provided wherein one could actually implement these rather intelligent words.

Okay, after reading these, you may have a few questions as did I. First you may ask yourself.... "Why would one buy fiddle on eBay?" "Is that the same as fiddle-faddle?" "Why can't they get that at their local wal-mart just like the rest of us?" Or perhaps, "What is a joun and why would it be shaking it's bootay?"

Sad eh? Where did Mr. Webster go wrong? Somewhere from the time he came out in that enormously huge red book and the invention of the internet I presume. Who exactly polices these word submissions? Apparently, we've got hillbillies, thugs, and a bunch of uneducated people determining what our vocabulary should consist of. Keep in mind, these findings are from simply searching for my actual legitimate word, the "R" section of the dictionary!!! I shudder to think what hides between all the other electronic pages. I'm actually afraid to reference a hard copy of Mr. Webster and finding all these words in there as well.

Apparently Mr. Webster has been hanging out a little too much with Mr. Wikipedia. Our source of knowledge and information is only as legitimate as the crazies who make it up and post it online. What is our world coming to? On a side note.... I hope I don't ever get reintarnated!! Sigh...scary!
