[QUOTE="gennepher, post: 2513899, member: 238814"] I think some more old fashioned words are more magical [USER=493719]@jjraak[/USER] I have Roget's Thesaurus from 1851, and various more editions of his over the years, and you can see how meanings and emphasis changes over the decades of the same word. I also have the original, 1870, Brewer's Dictionary of Phrase and Fable, which is an amazing read. And also many more editions of it over the decades. But with both books, I prefer the earlier versions with their amazing bindings, and raised print on the pages. They are far more exciting than the more modern versions which sort of become paperback books around 1920's. Modern versions? Even those are a hundred years old. But they are too modern for me! Thank you very much for your compliments :happy: [/QUOTE]
