I missed the first reference to Noah Webster,
but those ov you who recognize my path know that I prefer
middle english and that I shy away from anyone who thinks
any linguistic rule should be prescriptive as opposed to
descriptive.  enouf prolog.  i never trust what webster
suggests since in his first dictionary he defined oats
as food suitable only for horses and other lower animals.
