Day 13

Dictionaries. You'd think their function was pretty obvious - to help people understand the meaning of a word - so maybe you need a couple of different versions to cater for different needs. A large shelf-type affair and a pocket one that is handy for quick reminders or to carry with you. I am pretty sure it is not necessary to have over 15 different dictionaries all concurrently in print and available just from the OED alone. What is the difference between the "Oxford Pocket Dictionary" and the "Oxford Dictionary, pocket sized!"? What the fuck?
