WEBSTER’S DICTIONARY
Webster began writing his dictionary at the age of 43. It took him more than 27 years to write it.
Webster introduced distinctively American words such as "skunk" and "hickory" and "chowder."
But not all Webster spellings from that first dictionary stuck! For example, "tung" (tongue) and "wimmen" (women) aren't used today -- even if they are more true to their pronunciation.
Some words are still regional such as toboggan.
