Letters
Slate has published a list of all the words late author David Foster Wallace (left) circled in his American Heritage Dictionary. In addition to words such as "trephine" (A surgical instrument having circular, sawlike edges, used to cut out disks of bone, usually from the skull), and "uxorial" (Of a wife; regarded as befitting a wife), one might be surprised to note that he also circled the words "tennis" and "bisque."
