has gloss(noun) United States lexicographer who was accused of plagiarism by Noah Webster (1784-1865)
Worcester, Joseph Emerson Worcester
has glosseng: Joseph Emerson Worcester (August 24, 1784–October 27, 1865) was an American lexicographer and chief competitor of Websters Dictionary in the mid-nineteenth-century. Their rivalry became known as the "dictionary wars". Worcesters dictionaries focused on traditional pronunciation and spelling, unlike Noah Websters attempts to Americanize words. Worcester was respected by American writers and his dictionary maintained a strong hold on the American marketplace until a later, posthumous version of Websters book appeared in 1864. Worcester died a year later, effectively ending the war.
