      Note: The English language has been variously divided into
               periods by different writers. In the division most
               commonly recognized, the first period dates from about
               450 to 1150. This is the period of full inflection, and
               is called Anglo-Saxon, or, by many recent writers, Old
               English. The second period dates from about 1150 to
               1550 (or, if four periods be recognized, from about
               1150 to 1350), and is called Early English, Middle
               English, or more commonly (as in the usage of this
               book), Old English. During this period most of the
               inflections were dropped, and there was a great
               addition of French words to the language. The third
               period extends from about 1350 to 1550, and is Middle
               English. During this period orthography became
               comparatively fixed. The last period, from about 1550,
               is called Modern English.

      2. (Chem.) A metallic element mostly obtained by reduction
            from cinnabar, one of its ores. It is a heavy, opaque,
            glistening liquid (commonly called {quicksilver}), and is

            Mercury has a molecule which consists of only one atom. It
            was named by the alchemists after the god Mercury, and
            designated by his symbol, [mercury].
  
      Note: Mercury forms alloys, called amalgams, with many
               metals, and is thus used in applying tin foil to the
               backs of mirrors, and in extracting gold and silver
               from their ores. It is poisonous, and is used in
               medicine in the free state as in blue pill, and in its
               compounds as calomel, corrosive sublimate, etc. It is
               the only metal which is liquid at ordinary
               temperatures, and it solidifies at about -39[deg]
               Centigrade to a soft, malleable, ductile metal.
  
      3. (Astron.) One of the planets of the solar system, being

      6. (Bot.) A plant ({Mercurialis annua}), of the Spurge
            family, the leaves of which are sometimes used for
            spinach, in Europe.

               certain climbing plants, some of which are poisonous to
               the skin, esp. to the {Rhus Toxicodendron}, or poison
               ivy.

From Jargon File (4.2.0, 31 JAN 2000) [jargon]:
   English   1. n. obs. The source code for a program, which may be
   in any language, as opposed to the linkable or executable binary
   produced from it by a compiler.   The idea behind the term is that to
   a real hacker, a program written in his favorite programming
   language is at least as readable as English.   Usage: mostly by
   old-time hackers, though recognizable in context.   2. The official
   name of the database language used by old the Pick Operating System,
   actually a sort of crufty, brain-damaged SQL with delusions of
   grandeur.   The name permitted {marketroid}s to say "Yes, and you can
