About the Holiday

Dictionary Day was named to honor the great American wordsmith, Noah Webster, on his birthday. Celebrate today by using the dictionary to expand your vocabulary and try to use the new words, correctly, in conversation. Some may also want to test their vast vocabulary by playing Scrabble, while others may want to take this day and not use words at all. However you celebrate, have fun with this day.
