   I'm positive I've seen a Webster's Dictionary of the American (!)   
   Language somewhere.  I thought Noah Webster himself started this,   
   but apparently I was mistaken.   
      
   ... Okay, it's _Webster's New World Dictionary of the American Language_   
   and Wikipedia informs me that this is an independent work, wholly   
   unrelated to that of Webster himself.  Sorry, Noah.
