Erin McKean, editor and lexicographer for the New Oxford American Dictionary, tells Google the ten things she wishes people knew about dictionaries, how people go about making new words, and how lexicographers use Google. Erin McKean has wanted to be a lexicographer since she was eight years old. She has a BA and an MA in Linguistics from the University of Chicago, where she wrote her master's thesis on the treatment of phrasal verbs in children's dictionaries.

(A short movie of Dave Mckean about Sonnet 138 {Shakespeare} When my love swears that she is made of truth, I do believe her though I know she lies, That she might think me some untutored youth, Unlearned in the world's false subtleties. Thus vainly thinking that she thinks me young, Although she knows my days are past the best, Simply I credit her false-speaking tongue, On both sides thus is simple truth suppressed: But wherefore says she not she is unjust? And wherefore say not I that I am old? O love's best habit is in seeming trust, And age in love, loves not to have years told. Therefore I lie with her, and she with me, And in our faults by lies we flattered be.

"William Demarest was, in a lot of ways, kind of the primo Preston Sturges guy. He was a go-to guy. He does a fall in MIRACLE OF MORGAN'S CREEK. He trys to kick his daughter. Which was a laudable impulse in the plot, as I recall. Trying to kick Diana Lynn in the butt. And he lets fly with a kick. Misses her by a good 6 inches. And flies straight up in the air and lands flat on his back. And you think: either this man has been killed or he's done a very very funny fall. And it turned out to be the latter. Because he stuck around for another probably 40 years." [Michael McKean]

Mike forgot to talk about the scene where the bowl of pancake batter magically falls into the hands of the cook. Which is arguably the best bit in the whole movie. Mike & Chris draw attention to the non-sequitur joke about the lighthouse keeper on San Clemente Island.
