A Canadian quoting a Websters dictionary? You should be ashamed of yourself, not proud. Webster wrote dictionaries as an anti-British gesture. That would make him racist (or a dead racist) by the modern edition of his dictionaries that you quote. Getting back at the British is not a good reason to write a dictionary.

Websters have never recovered. They still publish dreadful dictionaries. I believe Funk and Wagnells is an American company. They publish excellent dictionaries.

The list that Clinton sent has been around for over a year. I thought that the dog running away from home in Saskatchewan line was great.
