Dictionary Day is used each year on October 16, in the festivity of Noah Webster's birthday. The idea of driving this "occasion" is to underscore the significance of word reference abilities and improve jargon. In 1806, Noah Webster wrote his first-word reference, A Compendious Dictionary of the English Language. Not long after, he began an extended and thorough word reference, An American Dictionary of the English Language – which took 27 years to finish! Webster's word reference contained 70,000 words, 12 of which had never shown up in a distributed word reference.

You could state that Webster was a man of numerous words. To assess the historical underpinnings of words, he learned 26 dialects, including Old English (Anglo-Saxon), German, Greek, Latin, Italian, Spanish, French, Hebrew, Arabic, and Sanskrit. He accepted that the English spelling rules were superfluously convoluted, so in his word reference, he presented American English spellings. For instance, Webster supplanted "shading" with "shading," "cart" with "cart," and "focus" with "focus." Webster likewise included American words, for example, "skunk" and "squash" that didn't show up in British word references.
