Edmonton Canada announces the creation of a Canadian dictionary with a 25 000 word list of terms and usages that differ from British and American English. Dr M H Scargill of the University of Alberta says the project will take two to three years and aims to discover what Canadians actually talk about and what is uniquely Canadian. Examples include Splake a hybrid game fish from Jasper National Park and Banker a Newfoundland term for a grand Banks fisher. Separate school meaning Catholic or parochial, and Digby chicken meaning herring.
