Erin McKean is Redefining the Dictionary

As one of the youngest editors of a "Big Five" American dictionary, Erin McKean is at the forefront of a new guard of lexicographers reshaping not just dictionaries, but our language itself. She's on a mission to debunk common misconceptions and elevate the use - and cool factor - of dictionaries. Watch this video of Erin speaking at the PopTech! Conference. She's able to make a talk on dictionaries and language interesting and engaging because she's passionate about words.
