Even in the making of dictionary, social issues like gender inequality and racism were evident. Good thing that now, it is us, the majority who have the final say. If only we could have a united understanding as we redefine words, the society we live in could've been better.

I'd really like this topic. One of my dream is making dictionary and sharing how much I loved with 'word' and their definition and certain meaning. Thanks for the video. Love it!

Hmm, this is making me think how many women were after Webster after he defined the word women as soft, mild, pitiful and flexible.

Naaah. This is lie. 'WE' don't make new words or change his definition. These days this is only in hands of Political Activists.
