Eh, the »four cannonballs on a brass plate« theory for »brass monkey« and »freezing the balls off a brass monkey« »#Jackspeak« sounded unbelievable, on physical and linguistic grounds. And, sure enuf, everibody else agrees that that is a tall tale.

Also, there ar different ways to turn a dictionary into an e-book:
•Yu could make sure that for every entry the word that’s defind gets is own CSS class and is set , idk, bold. Also it gets an anchor, and every time another entry references it yu get a nice link.
•Yu could also just use the raw text, put the whole text in italics for no reason, and just slap an ASCII-»*« in front of every cross reference.
What i’m saying is: don’t buy the #Jackspeak #epub #digitalTypography 😩
