a bit wordy

Read in primary school, taught me lots.

Thought the idea of reading the whole dictionary was madness, but I started with the least used letters and eventually worked my way to the RST corridor.

You really get a sense of the Britishness of it all reading entry after entry of antiquated slang and adjectives for bad weather. But who else am I to trust? Noah Webster? Over my dead loyalist body, turncoat.
