Samuel Johnson's First Dictionary?

Was published in 1755! It is a key date and one of the most important factors in the introduction of STANDARDISATION!!!


You will need to mention this in the 20 marker so don't forget it.


I remember it with this rap...


"1 to the 7 to the 5 to the 5,
Big Sam J brought standardisation of the English language alive,
Peace out."

2A - 20 marker - Thee and thou

 I'll just tell you this as, if it comes up, it might just get you an extra 2 marks. 'Thee' and 'Thou' are both archaic ...
