[Vwoolf] take that Mr Ramsay

[Mark Hussey]

LONDON — In France, the land of Molière, questions of language are so sacred
that every Thursday the “immortals,” the guardians of the French language at
the Académie Française, meet to discuss — among other things — proposed
changes to the institution’s vaunted dictionary.

 

The last complete edition of the dictionary was published in 1935, according
to the academy, and changes evolve over centuries. The newest complete
edition is not finished — the authors have reached the letter R.
