OP The latest Vocabula Review has a particularly fine article about words by Julian Burnside. Just a small sample, he repeats legend that when Noah Webster's wife caught him embracing the maid, she said:"Noah, I'm surprised." He, still the lexicographer, said: "No, my dear.You are astonished. It is we who are surprised."
