I knew a man who would sit and read an English dictionary. English was his third or fourth language and he wanted to improve his skills. I saw that and wanted to go to my knees weeping and wailing in sackcloth and ashes because it made me realize that I take things for granted. I now keep an Oxford English Dictionary (British version, not the American version)on the table beside my bed and I read it. That man became one of my heroes. :)

And for cause.

That is a quiet heroism that is alas all too thinly spread. Well done, the both of you.

oooh, dictionaries --
