Dictionary Day
Noah Webster was born on October 16, 1758. His dictionary, published in 1828, defined American English as distinct from British English. He simplified spellings: "colour" became "color," "centre" became "center," "plough" became "plow." He wanted Americans to have their own language. He got most of what he wanted.
