Old Slang: Appreciating Webster’s with Bots

[Peter Organisciak:][link]

>The medium of Twitter bot offers us the ability to shine a spotlight on the entries as individual entities; “hence, conspicuous public notice“. While it is certainly possible to look up all the words, perhaps dig through my Github account to find them, there is a different dynamic of attention with a tweet.

I’m all over this.
