Webster learned 28 languages to evaluate etymology. His dictionary contained nearly 70,000 words, 12,000 of which had never appeared in a dictionary before. (Notably: skunk, squash, hickory, and chowder. ) Webster's dictionary was extremely important in establishing standardized definitions and spellings for American words and usage; such as color v. colour and music v. musick. "This dictionary almost at once became, and has remained, the standard English Dictionary in the United States marked a definite advance in modern lexicography, as it included many non-literary terms and paid great attention to the language actually spoken." PMM, 291
