What I Learned from Reading the Entire Encyclopedia - AJ Jacobs
Are old (30-50 year old) dictionaries and encyclopedias better, worse or equivalent to brand new ones?
Would you prefer to use an old or new encyclopedia?
whilst a lot of words are the same
the problem is twofold
words can change use, do to cultural and colloquialisms
such as the word gay, has changed its meaning over 50 years
the other problem is many words did not exist, many are technical, and many technical words have entered mainstream use, such as Broadband, dvd, credit card, to name a few
I myself still use daily my dictionary from 1986 that my father bought me for schoolwork, i would use the older one, but double check against an online dictionary
please do use the old one, the words and explanations are nice in older books, and you learn a wider array of use of language, dont let old books die!
