If I remember my high school English teacher correctly, Merriam-Webster is the 
one true Webster.  Something about the person named Webster being sloppy 
about the legal side and somehow losing the general term Webster to the 
public domain; Merriam-Webster is the actual trademarked descendant of that 
original Webster, and I believe it's the only one a respectable (American) 
English teacher would use.  :)  This isn't even FreeBSD chat any more.
