Does anyone have access to the Dictionary of American Regional English (DARE) and have time to look something up and perhaps photograph the entry for me?

it's proofs day 😍 Introducing Catherine Sanger. This is another woman publisher that I found after an editor assumed traces of her labor in the English Short Title Catalogue were a typo. A [sic] was put next to her initial, and I spent weeks combing through Ancestry to figure out who she is.

On Monday our instagram account was hacked and then deleted. We received a ransom note to recover it; obviously we couldn't and wouldn't pay, and therefore lost thousands of followers. Meta support was useless. But we're BACK with a new account: @littletollerbooks. Can you follow us there and share?

Dr. Oz, nominated by Trump to head up Medicare and Medicaid, is all in on the plan to take nurses out of nursing homes.
WYDEN: Do you believe in a nursing home there should be a registered nurse available around the clock?
DR OZ: As you know, that's a complicated question
WYDEN: No it's not. We need a nurse in a nursing home. Not too complicated.
