Webster also claimed to have invented words such as demoralize, appreciation, accompaniment, ascertainable and expenditure, even though these words had actually been in use for some centuries.

韦伯斯特还声称自己发明 demoralize、appreciation、accompaniment、accertainable 和 expensation 等词，尽管这些词实际上已经使用几个世纪。

The community that speaks a language has learnt it, and modified it by processes almost all of which are not deliberate, but the results of causes operating according to more or less ascertainable laws.

说一种语言的社区已经学会它，并通过过程对其进改，几乎所有这些过程都不是故意的，而是根据或多或少可确定的规律运作的原因的结果。
