"What changes bill bo inado in tho now
workl"
"One of tho m03t important chango3will
bo in spelling. By advlco of Professor Marsh,
of Lafayette collego, and Professor Whltnoy,
of Yalo, unless afllxos will bo elided; as for
instance in tho word 'dopot, the final 't' will
bodropiwL"
"How about now words I"
"All that havo sprung up slnco tho last re
vision, and which aro introducod or used by
any reputed English writer, will ba incor
porated in this revision, as thoy express distinct
ideas, and havo no equivalent in the
English languago,wo cannot slight thorn, and
thoy must necessarily bo ingrafted into tho
revision. Many words introduced into the
English languago from tho Latin will retain
thoir foreign plurals, but as far as pos3lblo,
all thoroughly anglicized words will hayo
English plurals."
Ho further said that though tho exact
meaning of "dude" might bo rather hard to
doflno, yot ho thought tho word would bo in
corporated iu tho revision. As his "thought"
is pretty authoriative,dudo3will undoubtedly
hereafter bo formally classed in Wobjter's
As to tho word "boycott," ho had
no doubt that it would bo used, us it convoyed
a distinct lmvinlng, entirely different
from that convoyed by any other word in tho
language.
