I'm delighted to say that Erin McKean will be guest-blogging here this week. Ms. McKean is the Oxford University Press's Chief Consulting Editor for American Dictionaries; the editor in chief of the New Oxford American Dictionary (2d ed.); the author or coauthor of [1]Weird and Wonderful Words, [2]More Weird and Wonderful Words, [3]Totally Weird and Wonderful Words, and [4]That's Amore; and the author of both the [5]Dictionary Evangelist blog and the [6]A Dress a Day blog. She reports that she'll be blogging this week about Dictionary Myths, "the things people fervently believe about dictionaries, but sadly, aren't true."
