Important Information: You need to know that you will not find all the information on every word. Some words came into our language just recently. As an example, you will not find "ego" in Shakespeare's works. However, it is as important to know what you cannot find after you have looked in several places as it is to "get the right answer." When you cannot locate a word in one of the required locations, write in your report where you have looked and the results of that search. Example: "I have looked in the Concordance to Shakespeare's Writings and 'ego' is not listed for any of his works."
