OP I just removed all the postits from my dictionary because I was worried that they would corrupt the printing on the pages but I did it with regret because it was such an interesting record of the lookups.
What we need is an online dictionary with a related database of personal lookups. how could we move this idea forward?
And I suppose a related issue is the persistance of the OED to keep their database prohibitively expensive.
for example:
1/15/04 cenotaph .. E.Dickinson poem #1192 .. "an honest tear
is durabler than bronze" --- monument honoring one whose
body is interred elsewhere.
1/26/04 burnoose ... Wallace Stegner "Crossing to Safety"
3/15/04 cronyism ... discussed by Jason and Angela ...
Kronos ... Martha Steward, Cheney and Ley
9/03/04 espadrille ... "tender is the night" as in espalier
1/15/04 ineluctable ... New Yorker article on Howard Dean
9/03/04 lassitude ... also stopped on 'last' and saw Dylan
Thomas reference, "She's down to the last of the elder flower
wine"
9/03/04 Limpid ... Tender is the Night ... "It was a limpid, black
night, hung as in a dull basket from a single, star"
