This is a story that should be told more often, if only for the sake of mentally ill or incarcerated people.
Doing something terrible, shouldn't mean that you're no longer human or that your life is over. Especially if it's a lesser crime or if you have a mental illness. Conditions in prisons and asylums are still unacceptable 100 years later. Maybe this story could change some of the right minds.
The fact that Tolkien worked on the OED is mentioned in his official biography. Makes one wonder how many other interesting characters there were...
The Professor and the Madman is one of my fave books. Good movie too.
I appreciate the sensitivity and kindness in the approach to William Chester Minor.
Bravo! A wonderful exposition with a message of hope.
Great story! Thanks for choosing to share it.
Another sneaky history video. I like it.
Though not actually related, I can say that needing a Merriam-Webster Collegiate dictionary in my school supplies happened the same year we read The Devil and Daniel Webster and we were very convinced that Daniel and Noah were one in the same.
Fascinating. Thanks for this
I believe our family are related to James Murray a fact of which we are very proud having several word needs and book enthusiasts amongst our ranks. Both my grandfather and grandmother married into the Murray clan but we are not sure which line came from James Murray himself. Yes. They married cousins !
Thanks! I really enjoy your videos. I love your knowledge and passion for the topics you present. Keep up with the good work! ~ I would also just like to take the opportunity to say thank you and let you know that I really appreciate you and your channel.
Thank you so much for the kind words Selina! They really mean a lot to me.
My thanks go to the man that has given us so much despite his circumstances !
Not "sigh lon" more like something between "say lon" and "sea lon".
Amazing story! Love from Korea.
People who write dictionaries look like Gary Cooper and hang out with dames who look like Barbara Stanwyck to research slang.
Thanks!
Thanks B!
what is that movie you talked about called would love to see it?
Skip to 5:03 to get to him talking about William Chester Minor.
Thank you, this was really interesting
I wonder if this was Conan Doyle's inspiration for the distraction in The Red Headed League
Well that is interesting... and now i need i feel a need to rewatch "The Great Passage".
Etymology doesn't sound like Tolkien's thing at all. 🤣
press F for William
How dod the mariam webster dictionary get written if the oxford dictionary was so hard to write?
Possibly the best yet.

He did not write it, he contributed to write it.
Any chance you can mention the Cambridge University Press? *
