Wait. Canadian mayors are actually called "Your Worship?" That? Is awesome.

doesn't everyone? Mine is from 1968, actually. I found a copy of it in an office where I had to go do a bit of work for someone one time, and I nearly stole their copy!

Yes, this is the dictionary I grew up with. Yes, my sister and I will fight over it. It had tons of cool pictures, and we used to read it all the time.

We used to have this black dictionary, I have no idea who published it, but it was copyright like 1946 or something, and still had things like "to-day" and cool old-fashioned spellings like that. It's probably one reason I still use a lot of British spelling--the old stuff is so much prettier and more fun.

Yay! My childhood dictionary is out of date, but I just adore the pictures. It was the 1968 Colliegate edition of the American Heritage Dictionary.

There were no pictures in mine that I remember. But I do remember that there were little cutouts into the pages so you'd know where each letter was.

I do. I have many dictionaries - http://users.livejournal.com/_scally/321023.html , but my absolute favourite is Oxford Dictionary.

Don't think I'm a dictionary nut. :-) I just like them.
