Follow on Google News | ![]() Many unaware of today's dictionary practicesThe majority of the general public is unaware that Dictionaries today follow the practice of "description" as opposed to "prescription". The danger is removal of vast bodies of knowledge and wisdom from public access.
Noah Webster owns the unique distinction of having single-handedly rescued the English Language from the corrupting political and social influences of the European nations of his day. He preserved the language with a pure connection to the original roots in other languages, and provided a necessary tool for our new nation (and all later generations) Words matter and have always profoundly impacted our culture and government. The Biblical framework and concepts of freedom from the founding era are not reflected in modern dictionaries. For instance, the modern reference to our form of government is a "democracy" which displaces the true significance of the American "Republic". Noah Webster left a legacy in the 1828 American Dictionary of the English Language, to sustain the original intent of the language of the Founders -- an understanding gravely relevant today. # # # The mission of FACE is to publish and teach America's Christian history and method of education by Biblical principles to restore Christian self-government to our nation. Our core values are: The Word of God is the source of political liberty; The Word of God is the foundation of every subject; The Word of God is the manual for family life. End
