A Good Ol’ Game of One-Upsmanship

John Murray! Bandying about with your more esoteric lexicographers. Well played, Jeffryes, well played. I bow to your superior knowledge of dictionary-related factoids. (And just for the record, Noah Webster is no contest for Dr. Johnson. He couldn’t even carry Samuel Johnson’s extensive files on word origins and definitions.)

My real knowledge base has always really been thesauruses (or thesauri). I could really drop some knowledge on you about Peter Mark Roget.

Okay, I hate to cut this short, but I just re-read what I’ve written so far, and the incredible level of nerdiness has actually left me speechless.

Speechless.
