Many years ago,a French naturalist,the Count de Buffon,wrote some books about natural history.The books were a great success even though some critics did not like them.Some critics said,“Count Buffon is more of a poet than a scientist.”
Thomas Jefferson did not like what the Count had said about the natural wonders of the New World.It seemed to Jefferson that the Count had spoken of natural wonders in America as if they were unimportant.
This troubled Thomas Jefferson.He too was a naturalist,as well as a farmer,inventor,historian,writer and politician.He had seen the natural wonders of Europe.To him,they were no more important than those of the New World.
In 1788,Thomas Jefferson wrote about his home state,Virginia.While writing,he thought of its natural beauty and then of the words of the Count de Buffon.At that moment.Jefferson created a new word—belittle.He said.“The Count de Buffon believes that nature belittles her productions on this side of the Atlantic.”
Noah Webster,the American word expert,liked this word.He put it in this English language dictionary in 1806,“Belittle—to make small,unimportant.”
Americans had already accepted Jefferson’s word and started to use it.In 1797,the Independent Chronicle newspaper used the word to describe a politician the paper supported.“He is an honorable man,”the paper wrote,“so let the opposition try to belittle him as much as they please.”
In 1872,a famous American word expert decided that the time had come to kill this word.He said,“Belittle has no chance of becoming English.And as more critical writers of America,like those of Britain,feel no need of it,the sooner it is forgotten,the better.”
This expert failed to kill the word.Today.belittle is used where the English language is spoken.

Big storms. High waves. Technical failure. Loneliness. After battling hard times and danger for over nine months, British teenager Mike Perham made history last month as the youngest person to sail solo(單獨) around the world.

Father and son sailed separate boats across the Atlantic when Mike was 14, making him the youngest person to cross that ocean solo. That record gave him the taste for this even greater challenge.
