Lexicon
used to mean 1) a dictionary; 2) a special [i.e., trade or professional] vocabulary; or 3) the total stock of morphemes [smallest indivisible meaningful word or word portion] in any language. Times change.
Happy anniversary !

Speaking of street of dreams
I thought Lexicon was an avenue in New York....not wait; it was Lexington Avenue....or in the film "Desk Set", a slightly drunk Joan Blondell refers to the bus along Lexington as the "Mexican Avenue bus" and Katharine Hepburn laughs and asks if she didn't the "Mexlington Avenue bus"!
But I disgress again

I love that movie!
I love "Desk Set". Speaking of computers (I just replied to the iMac thread). 2 hours of Katherine Hepburn getting in a tizzy over a computerized library the size of a greyhound bus!
