As an incurable cruciverbalist, I have finally succumbed to the investment of the famous Chambers Dictionary known affectionately as the Red Brick by Listener crossword solvers. The foreward written by the erudite Jeremy Paxman contains the advice:
Eat a dictionary. A page a day keeps the doddypolls at bay.
Now there's a word worth looking up. The dictionary even has a built in
bookmark suggesting people do read it like a book cover to cover. Do people
really read a page a day like we read our Bibles bit by bit?
