000-999 Major System Collaboration

Berol’s dictionary is out of date (lots of WW1 references), contains archaic spellings and terms, and is filled with useless phrases. For example:

875 FIGLEAF, vehicle, vocalist, faculty, vacuol, folklore, flckleness, off color, ivy clad, half weekly, half clad, half closed, half cleaned, half clear, half clinched, half qualified, half quelled, half eclipsed, half cultured, half cultivated, half cooled, half glad, fog laden, foggily, foglike, fogless, feckless, vaguely, focal, fecal, vocal, if ugly, heavy gale, have coal, have kale, have gall, have a clue, have a call, have a goal, have a collie, we have a weak ally, I have a weak will,

I edited that down to be:

875 FIGLEAF, vehicle, vocalist, faculty, vacuole, folklore, focal, fecal, vocal,

I been working for the last four months with about 80 hours of editing to make a usable version with updates from other sources. I’m deciding on how to make it public after that.

@NAINGMYOAUNG, the PDF version is of each page and not the full document. Can you see the scanned version of Berol’s Complete Mnemotechnical Dictionary at https://hdl.handle.net/2027/umn.31951000834339g ?
