The Almost-Dictionary contains definitions only for almost-words. Almost-words, like almost-count (settle for a pretty good estimate), are not to be found in the almost-standard dictionaries (Merriam-Webster, Oxford, etc.). Other examples of almost-words: almost-all (most), almost-catch (fumble), almost-cure (treatment), almost-giraffe (zebra), almost-news (a message that doesn't sufficiently inform), almost-run (jog), almost-science (technology), and so on. Things are rarely pure or perfect. There's usually a gap between the way things are and the way we would like things to be. The almost-standard dictionaries leave a lot of definitions out, hence the need for the likes of: Jeff Foxworthy's "The Redneck Dictionary," Ambrose Bierce's "The Devil's Dictionary," and "The Dictionary of American Slang." The Almost-Dictionary may be of interest to those that stock dictionaries, reference books, business and especially "quality-related" reference books, or humor books.
