Odious vulgarisms

"19. Ink, uncle, concord, concourse, concubine; are pronounced by Walker, ingk, ungkl, kongkord, kongkorse, kongkubine; and these odious vulgarisms are offered for our adoption. There can be no apology for such attempts to corrupt our language." Introduction, pg. lvii.

Jehovah

JE-HO'VAH, n.

The Scripture name of the Supreme Being, Heb {}. If, as is supposed, this name is from the Hebrew substantive verb, the word denotes the PERMANENT BEING, as the primary sense of the substantive verb in all languages, is to be fixed, to stand, to remain or abide. This is a name peculiarly appropriate to the eternal Spirit, the unchangeable God, who describes himself thus, I AM THAT I AM. Ex. iii.

I like the capitalization in this entry.

Jejune

JE-JUNE', a. [L. jejunus, empty, dry.]

1. Wanting; empty; vacant. Bacon.
2. Hungry; not saturated.
3. Dry barren; wanting interesting matter; as, a jejune narrative.

My dad has always said this word. I have never thought to look it up before! It made me laugh to find it.
