I wonder what Ernest Hemingway’s dictionary looked like, since he got along so well with dinky words that everyone can spell and truly understand… My own is a tossed salad of instant coffee and tobacco crumbs and India paper… The truth is that I have broken its spine looking up the difference between principle and principal, and how to spell cashmere.
