Random Fact for the Week :)

In 1807 Webster began compiling an expanded and fully comprehensive dictionary, An American Dictionary of the English Language; it took twenty-seven years to complete.

WOW 27 years!? But is the dictionary ever REALLY complete? I mean don't they add new words to it all the time? I know "ain't" wans't in the dictionary when I was a kid, but it is now!

I always wondered how to spell 'ain't', thankfully now I know. Dictionaries can be so helpful.
