But the book has an additional feature - you can look up stuff by time, i.e. words in use by 1650 or 1820 or whatever. It gives the year it was first used, and sometimes another year when it was used as a verb instead of a noun, for example. Browsing it can be surprising!Jennifer Jensenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07577950933213062716noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1746050382328975047.post-5763720363420532942012-03-21T07:50:06.112-04:002012-03-21T07:50:06.112-04:00hey!
