Haven't seen "ridged" dictionaries on sale anywhere :). There are "abridged" and "unabridged"... i.e. unridged and ununridged. Go figure.

I've often caught myself saying that in a language there's no logic, only history. And yet that same language is our tool of expressing logic... makes one think there's something flawed here.
