Many unaware of today's dictionary practices

The 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.
 
Sept. 28, 2010 - PRLog -- Today it is acceptable to mis-use language and alter the established meanings of words to suit the wants and habits of the generation. The danger of this practice is the removal of vast bodies of knowlege and wisdom from public access. Furthermore, when those in positions of public responsibility cannot agree on the definitions of words, everyone in the process becomes the potential target of political manipulation.

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) to understand the writings of the Founders and Framers of the Constitution. For the original, facisimile of Noah Webster's 1828 American Dictionary of the English language please visit http://www.facebookstore.net or call 1-800-352-3223. The 1828 is perfect for students, pastors, scholars, business people -- anyone with a love for words who appreciates our history of liberty and who seeks truth.

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.
