Lexicographer, dictionary editor
Erin McKean at Gel 2006 from Gel Conference on Vimeo.
Words rock. So does this lexicographer. At the time of this talk, Erin was serving as editor-in-chief of The New Oxford American Dictionary - and here she describes the process of making, and editing, the words in the dictionary. Well worth watching.
See also Erin's blog Dress A Day and her online dictionary startup Wordnik. (She also made a brief on-stage appearance at Gel 2007.)
