Dictionaries are word-pictures of language. [ Cox ]
The design of dictionaries is to show the use of words. [ Leibnitz ]
Reasonable men are the best dictionaries of conversation. [ Goethe ]
Dictionaries have come to be, in too many cases, the pernicious record of unreasonable, unwarranted, and fleeting usage. [ R. G. White ]
All the makers of dictionaries, all the compilers of opinions already printed, we may term plagiarists, but honest plagiarists, who arrogate not the merit of invention. [ Voltaire ]
All the makers of dictionaries, all compilers who do nothing else than repeat backwards and forwards the opinions, the errors, the impostures, and the truths already printed, we may term plagiarists: but honest plagiarists, who arrogate not the merit of invention. [ Voltaire ]
Observe or Say? While the dictionaries authorize the common use of these words, it is in better taste to restrict the employment of observe to its primitive signification; namely, to notice. Hence such an expression as, What did you observe?
is objectionable, and should be, What did you say?
[ Pure English, Hackett And Girvin, 1884 ]
