Seriously, it all ends up in a lexicon file in Word
Perfect sooner or later. Even the stuff that isn't on
any webpage is somewhere in a WP file. The Kerno
dictionary is now about 40 pages (more than 2000
recorded words thus far). The Talarian is about half
that, but it has vital etymological information which
I've generally left out of the Kerno.

Of course, no amount of time spent clacking away at a
computer has eliminated all the stewn papers. Alas,
paper seems to multiply faster than bacteria. And
seems to be more resistant to boot.

One of these days, I suppose I'll have to try a
dictionary programme. The data would have to be either
exportable to a real word processor or else the
programme would have to incorporate wp capabilities to
print out properly. I.e., so it _looks_ like a
dictionary!
