Quotes by Lynda Mugglestone (?)

“A national language is a national tie鈥�, Noah Webster”

“(鈥楢 clever stratagem or plan intended to deceive or trick鈥�; 鈥楽maller; inferior; minor鈥�, the respective definitions in Chambers Concise Dictionary state). Information on spelling is similar, based on evidence rather than opinion. The dictionary as reference book sorts out with ease the unintentional influence of homophones (as in the inadvertent use of baited breath rather than bated breath, of flare when flair was intended, or the different semantic territories of Viking hordes and Viking hoards).”

“How can there be a true History, when we see no man living is able to write truly the History of the last week?鈥�, as Sir Will demands in Thomas Shadwell鈥檚 play The Squire of Alsatia (1688)”
