[quote=Eric;

When we see men grow old and die at a certain time one after another, from century to century, we laugh at the elixir that promises to prolong life to a thousand years; and with equal justice may the lexicographer be derided, who, being able to produce no example of a nation that has preserved their words and phrases from mutability, shall imagine that his dictionary can embalm his language, and secure it from corruption and decay.

Samuel Johnson was a pompous s**t, but he did make some good points.[/quote]

Who is quoting who?
What ever you are on Eric - I could do with some of it
