First of all, we must comment who was Johnson.
Samuel Johnson was an english writer and critic and one of the most famous literary figures of the 18th century . He best-known work is his dictionary of the english language.
His point of view about change in the English language provided the first great dictionary which represented the first definitived authoritative source of english language lexicographical reference.
I think it was a good contribution for the Universal education and it should not be stopped.
