Transcriber's Note:
Text uses both "to-day" and "today."
Obvious punctuation errors were corrected.
Pages 116-117, entry for "confide" was originally placed after "correspond." It was relocated to be in the correct alphabetical order.
Pages 171-172, the examples were placed out of order. The section beginning "reporter, business manager" to the end of the paragraph was originally located after a space following the Abraham Lincoln paragraph. The first part of the Abraham Lincoln paragraph originally ended with "nor a year it". The rest of that paragraph was originally located at the top of the next page. These paragraphs have been adjusted to read correctly. Links to images of the original pages follow.
