Look it Up

Jurors deciding whether or not Zacarias Moussaoui should be put to death will have no lexicographical help, a judge has ruled. Apparently the presence of a dictionary in the jury room would constitute "additional evidence." We're sure there's something important here, but we're going to let the prescriptivists and descriptivists sort it out amongst themselves.

Why? Because after reading this seemingly unrelated story, we need time with our own Webster's to find a word that means "We Told You So, and Are Therefore Not Shocked, Just Wondering When These Guys Will Return."

Probably a German dictionary would be more helpful.
