You're beleif... Ain't that grand?Originally Posted by RtyomYou're beleif in dictionaries is slowly growing out of date. This is an art, and truly one of the hardest, to make a comprehensive overview on one of the area of people's linguistic knowledge. Linguistic dictionaries are being created with so many rules and restrictions that it makes real difficult to assemble, process, and even present all the information. And it is inevitable for dictionaries to be incomplete and fall out of date soon, so this is another very big problem for compilers to deal with...Originally Posted by kalinka_vinnieBah, what is a dictionary anyway? Nothing but an out-dated collection of words that some bunch of goons decided to have their second-rate meaning associated with them. A dictionary does not necessarily reflect the proper usage of any word that it may or may not contain.Originally Posted by DDTWell getting back to the topic. In the Russian alphabet there is "Ё" and there is "Е" . This is a verifiable fact. Therefore, using "Ё" when the dictionary calls for "Е" is using a different letter. Moreover, if the letter used is NOT the letter used in the dictionary then it can be said that the WRONG letter was used.
I agree with DDT. Every (linguistic) dictionary is the indicator of linguistic awareness and taste.
