• Sample Paragraph
• Noah Webster, an American author and
  lexicographer, lived from 1758 to 1843.
  Lexicology is a branch of linguistics concerned
  with the signification and application of words.
  Just as Mr. Websters work yielded the dictionary
  that bears his name, modern words have their own
  history and are the product of other languages
  the source language of a word is known as its
  etymology. Lexikos, which comes from Greek, is
  the source of modern word lexicology. It is also
  the source of lexicon, more commonly known as a
  dictionary.
