Weird dictionary

So I’m doing some eco work and I wanted to take a look at what dif­fer­ent dic­tio­nar­ies had to say about various terms. So off I go, and type in “asset”. This is what Webster gave me:

Asset | As”set |
n.
Any article or sep­a­ra­ble part of one’s assets.
1913 Webster

Rightio then. 0.o
I still remem­ber, going all the way back to year 2, when our teacher drilled into our skulls never to use the word we are trying to explain in it’s def­i­n­i­tion. Hehe. I think it’s fair time that that dic­tio­nary needs to be worked over.
