Dr. James Murraywas invited by Oxford University Press to compile the "Oxford English Dictionary". This is a huge project. It is impossible to collect hundreds of thousands of vocabulary with the efforts of a few people in the editing team. Dr. Murray, who is a commoner, pioneered the use of a model of participation by the whole people, so that all English speakers can work together. Collect the term definitions and mail them to the editing team. Although there is help from all the people, it is still difficult to compile. For more than two decades, the editing team has successively received more than 10,000 quotations from a doctor named Minerplayed-this kind of workload has surpassed that of professional scholars. When the first volume of the dictionary was published, Dr. Murray came to thank him and discovered that Dr. Miner was a military doctor during the American Civil War. He was imprisoned in a mental hospital because of schizophrenia

The old people love to watch old things about old people, and I'm really happy to watch another good movie based on real history and real things. The "Professor and the Madman" tells the strange events during the compilation of the "Oxford English Dictionary" more than a hundred years ago. It is played by two veterans Mel Gibson and Sean Penn, who are about 60 years old. It is artistic. Enjoyment is another extension of knowledge. It is said that the case data of the lunatic was sealed by the British government for a hundred years before being declassified; it was written as a novel and published in 1998, and it was popular all over the world; it was made into a movie last year, and the director was an Iranian-born rookie.
