Defining fun

Similar to what one is often wont to do when one finds oneself blogging, I was looking up definitions for the word "fun." I came across The Rosetta Edition of Websters Online Dictionary. And fun is what I found. Fun indeed. Fun defined. Fun as a noun, fun as an adjective, fun as a computer term, fun as slang. Abbreviations and acronyms for fun. Fun synonyms. Definitions of fun one might find in the crosswords. Fun in screenplays, lyrics, movie and TV titles. The commercial usage of fun in books, periodicals, movies and music, technology and consumer goods. Fun pictures and illustrations and clipart. More pictures. And still more. Quotations about fun. Fun in the Devil's Dictionary. Fun according to the famous. The frequency of fun use. Fun in different languages. Derivations. Misspellilngs. Rhymes. Anagrams. Poems. Stories. Art. Posters. Slogans. Buttons Patches. Fun for sale. Fun books and periodicals, music and videos. Toys and software. Clothes. Fun in the news. Fun in product names, internationally.

So the point is? Somebody at Websters is redefining what online dictionaries can be. Somebody is having fun and somebody else is letting them have it. This is a good thing. And I like it.
