In the 1930. You can visit us online for this weekends schedule. Booktv continues with paul dickson. He takes a look at the creation of words but by authors. This is about 50 minutes. Thank you, barbara. This is a special treat with you here today. Thank you. We actually did invent an authorism for our 450th birthday, 450th anniversary, and i did that by going to the editorinchief at merriamwebster, and they got the staff to come up with a name. Whether that makes it in the dictionary or not, at least it made it in my book, and now its on it will be shown elsewhere. This business of what gets in and what doesnt get in is a fascinating subject because a lot aaron mckeon once said words are simply a piece of communication, an element of communication and just because its not in the dictionary doesnt mean its not a word. She used to say you dont need a pedigree to be a dog. And so thats sort of the way to look at it. One thing i find thats really interesting is a lot of writers, especiall
Of times hair and mccain once said about words that words arent simply a piece of communication and element of communication. Just because its not in the dictionary doesnt mean its not a word. That is to say you dont need a pedigree to be a dog. Thats sort of the way to look at it but one thing that i find this interesting is a lot of writers especially contemporary writers love to create their own words. My favorite example is Calvin Trillin the humorist and new yorker writer. He actually created a couple of words which i give them full credit for. Wonky as one and the other is the buffalo chicken wings which were called before that spicy chicken wings and when he wrote the book called alice let eat they become buffalo chicken wings because he had them in buffalo new york when he was on a pilgrimage about food. The guy that is funny to me is when i was doing research on the book i found Sinclair Lewis would invent words and send off letters to merriamwebster. The letters are in files
Another. He actually talked about the use of Nuclear Weapons, both in the middle east and in europe. You wonder about his hand or his thumb getting any close to the critical button that president s are in charge of. Number three, he says we should basically abolish the Geneva Convention which was created to make sure we had fair treatment for anybody who could be captured in war and that somehow we ought to abolish the Geneva Convention and engage in i guess more torture, which doesnt set well with any of the people who have served our country so honorably. Hes called nato basically to be abolished. I cant figure out what his position is today. I happen to believe that nato needs to be strengthened. And then one of the most curious i dont even know how he went there. Is that in picking the Supreme Court justice, that donald trump suggested that we have to that any Supreme Court justice must make a commitment to review and investigate hillarys emails. I dont even know how you do that. T
