Love Letter #13

Dear Merriam-Webster’s Collegiate Dictionary, Eleventh Edition,

You are a daily source of knowledge to whom I appeal for help. A constant weekday companion, you help me set high standards of consistency and word use.Without you I would be lost. I sometimes wonder if I rely on you too much—I don’t always get the yellow-card questions right when playing Cranium, I inadvertently misuse words in conversation. I really missed you Sunday when reviewing the Missions Committee presentation and I couldn’t remember if day care was one word or two. Luckily, I relied on everything you’ve taught me so far (and on the advice of a fellow churchgoer) and correctly left it as two words. Many of your lessons I’ve committed to memory, but I don’t think I’ll ever stop needing you.

Love,
Tara

P.S. Coming in a computer program as well in this edition was a fabulous idea. Thank you for being so convenient and practical.
