If you are from another nation, what does your favorite national monument of your country mean to you? Statue of Liberty Lady Liberty is a symbol of America's potential, as stated in the Declaration of Independence: "We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty, and the pursuit of Happiness."1 All humanity-- male and female, no matter the color of their skin, national origin, religion, lack of religion, political affiliation, gender identification, or sexual orientation-- are created equal, and are given numerous "unalienable" rights. The {item:bcof} prompt for DAY 2158 October 16 is Dictionary Day  . It commemorates the birth of Noah Webster (October 16, 1758), the Father of the American Dictionary. Do you prefer to use an online dictionary or a book dictionary? Why?Dictionary Day I use an online dictionary all the time. I do this for two reasons: (1) I'm online when I'm transposing a story or poem into a document, and (2) I can us the zoom feature on my computer to enlarge the print. It's easier to use the zoom feature than it is to use a magnifying glass with a book. I have three dictionaries book marked on my Web favorites: (1) the English Oxford Living Dictionaries , (2) the Online Etymology Dictionary , and the Cambridge Dictionary . Why, because the Oxford and Etymology dictionaries were recommended to me, and the Cambridge dictionary is as good as the other two. |
