The Ottawa Sun called me four measly hours after I fell asleep to try and sell me a subscription, there is no coffee anywhere in the house, the front left headlight on my car burnt out, and chapter three is really not going well.

More history of little things:

The first English language dictionary was written in 1604 by Robert Cawdrey, who titled his book A Table Alphabeticall. The book was styled after the translation guides published for travellers, which translated English to French or Italian or Spanish or what have you. Cawdrey's book translated English into plain English and was intended to help people master the influx of fancy Latin, Greek, French, etc. words into the English language.

The Table Alphabeticall consisted of 2543 words. The first word of the table was Abandon, which Cawdrey defined as "cast away, or yeelde vp, to leaue or forsake." There were no entries for J, K, U, W, X, or Y.
