dictionary delight
Erin McKean is more excited about dictionaries than probably anybody else on the planet, which is why the following TED talk is one of my favorites.
[UPDATE: Actually, I take that back. Since posting this, I've thought of some other TED talks that rank a lot higher than this one. I'll try to dig them up and post them soon. Meanwhile, you have to admit that this woman's lexicographical enthusiasm is pretty astounding.]
