Noah Webster fu un influente lessicografo e riformatore dell'ortografia americana che plasmò profondamente l'istruzione e l'identità americana. I suoi scritti e in particolare i suoi iconici libri di testo per la scuola elementare posero le basi per l'insegnamento della lettura e dell'ortografia per generazioni di americani. L'eredità di Webster perdura nella cultura americana, poiché il suo lavoro contribuì a secolarizzare l'istruzione e a forgiare una coscienza nazionale attraverso la standardizzazione della lingua. Il suo nome rimane ancora oggi sinonimo di dizionari autorevoli della lingua inglese.
Time flows in one toward the future. However, some physicists have shown that much of what we believe about time is just an illusion. Time may not flow at all. Our past may still exists.

The great American educator Noah Webster first published A Grammatical Institute of the English Language, otherwise known as the Blue Back Speller, in 1783. His goal was to provide a uniquely American, Christ-centered approach to training children. Little did he know that this remarkable little gem would become the staple for parents and educators for more than a century and would help to build the most literate nation in history of the West. Many of the Founding Fathers used this book to home school their children, including Benjamin Franklin who taught his granddaughter to read, spell, and pronounce words using "Old Blue Back."
