Monday, May 12th, 2008As ‘firsts’ go, they are almost always important landmarks of achievement and contribute greatly to human understanding and endeavour; take some classic examples from the past; The first printing press, the first instance of powered flight and the first English dictionary. This last achievement, of course, marked the beginnings of the standardisation of the English language and saw the beginning of the end of quaint and ‘olde’ spellings commonly found before the dictionary’s advent.
