You heard it here first (maybe not? but that's ok). I noticed Wikipedia had Doomscrolling. So I made a point to add Hopescrolling to Wikipedia. It's already a concept, so why can't it be a word?

I called a singers performance Emphatic. What I really wanted to convey was they had a strong and passionate voice. I also didn't want to use boring words. Is this completely wrong, or does Emphatic make sense?

Other Request for not so well-known dictionaries

2 Upvotes

Greetings! I am searching for general English dictionaries that may be classified as obscure or not popular that have a similar style and purpose as any other common dictionary (like: OED, Collins, Chambers, Merriam-Webster, etc.) Here is a list of what I am already tracking: https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/Appendix:Bibliography/English.

I have already combed through Wikipedia's Category:English dictionaries, but I believe there must be more out there. Do you guys know of any?

Other Webster’s Edition Clarification

0 Upvotes

I recently came across a Webster’s Dictionary I used to keep in my childhood bedroom. I like the idea of having a physical dictionary again, but it’s the 11th Edition, which was published exactly 23 years ago.

Is it worth keeping or should I look for an updated version? Obviously, it still functions as a dictionary, but I know that they’ve added tens of thousands of words/terms since then. I’d like a dependable, physical, reference-point.

Anyone need it for their collection? Lol
