CavyherdIt's like the Oxford English Dictionary's entry for "water". Which goes on for •pages•....
@cavyherd I think it was this recent episode of No Such Thing As A Fish in which they briefly discussed Emily Brewster discovering a new meaning of "a(n)": https://podcasts.apple.com/nl/podcast/no-such-thing-as-gutter-ice/id840986946?i=1000747203795
Couldn't quickly find an original source for that claim, tho.

@cavyherd especially sad that very, very few people will ever look up "a(n)" in a dictionary, and even fewer read the entire definition of it, yet it takes months to write those entries...
