I get definitions of words wrong all the time. I'm curious how many of the words were wrongly defined by him during his time.

It is not so much that his definitions were wrong, but many were quite...eccentric.

EG: “Oats. A grain, which in England is generally given to horses, but in Scotland supports the people.”
