What is an “ INTERJECTIONS” ?

When certain strong feelings and sudden emotions are expressed, we use interjections. The problem  with  interjections is that, because they are technically meaningless they require quite a great deal of context to be understood. They are included in a sentence usually at the start to express a sentiment   in any form. It can be shock, surprise, disgust, joy, excitement and enthusiasm.

Interjections are frequently followed by an exclamation mark. Interjections are not grammatically connected to any part of the sentence so they can be removed without creating any confusion.

The following is a list of interjections with examples.

Emotions expressed	interjection	examples
Pleasure	ah	Ah! That feels awesome.
Surprise	Ah, dear, eh, hello, oh, well	Ah! They have won, Dear me! That’s a good one. Eh! Not really. Hello! That’s my book. Oh! I see Well! She never did.
Grief	Alas	Alas! The poor fellow is dead.
Pity	Dear	Oh Dear! It must have hurt

The Age of the English Dictionary

A Dictionary of the English Language was Published on 15 April 1755 and written by Samuel Johnson, A Dictionary of the English Language, sometimes published as Johnson's Dictionary, is among the most influential dictionaries in the history of the English language.

There was dissatisfaction with the dictionaries of the period, so in June 1746 a group of London booksellers contracted Johnson to write a dictionary for the sum of 1,500 guineas (£1,575), equivalent to about £230,000 as of 2012. Johnson took nearly nine years to complete the work, although he had claimed he could finish it in three. Remarkably, he did so single-handedly, with only clerical assistance to copy out the illustrative quotations that he had marked in books. Johnson produced several revised editions during his life.

Until the completion of the Oxford English Dictionary, 173 years later, Johnson's was viewed as the pre-eminent English dictionary. According to Walter Jackson Bate, the Dictionary "easily ranks as one of the greatest single achievements of scholarship, and probably the greatest ever performed by one individual who labored under anything like the disadvantages in a comparable length of time".
