Yes, there was much to be said for £sd - not only was it highly
divisible, but it was good for people's mental arithmetic, had a
vocabulary all of its own (tanner, bob, crown...), and confused Johnny
Foreigner. Guineas were a bit of a cheat, though.

So far have assumed that the numbers would give the strength
of the association. Some dictionaries I find in an "as is"
state - just the body without accompanying information about
authors, creation, and such.

1 guinea = 1 pound 1 shilling, ie £1.05.

Certain kinds of transactions are frequently (but not always)
priced in guineas, even today --- eg the sale of horses or land

Thanks. It's yonks since I've heard mention of guineas, perhaps because
I never buy land or horses. I remember them as a way of inflating prices
without changing the visible number - £10 gns vs £10 etc..

There was also a peculiar practice of quoting prices above £1 without
using that unit - 99s 6d, for example - also deceitful, since something
priced in shillings could not possibly cost anywhere near £5, could it?

Dollars and cents was one of the few things
that the Americans did get right.
(thanks to Thomas Jefferson)

He failed them on the metric system however.
(Jefferson wasn't really the kind of scientific genius
that Americans take him for)
Initially Jefferson was very much in favour of it.
He changed his mind when the metric founding fathers
(on initiative of Borda, and a much better choice)
decided to opt for the meridian of Paris
instead of the length of the seconds pendulum (at 45 degrees latitude)
as the basis for the system.

Jefferson did not understand that there is no good reason
for assuming without verification
that the lenght of the seconds pendulum near New York
must be the same as that of one in southern France, at 45 degrees.
(so carrying and comparing prototype meters was necessary anyway)

The more practical reason was that despite all of its proud independence
the USA was still effectively an economic colony
that depended for most of its manufactured goods on Britain,
hence on British standards,

So what is a free association dictionary --- the result of one
person's free association notes? I tried googling the phrase and just
got definitions of "free association".

AFAIK, the book that sounds like a dinosaur but looks like a
dictionary is made deliberately & thoughtfully (not like free
association), & doesn't have values (scores?) after each word in an
entry.

I see that there is a real curiosity about this subject.
Therefore, I have tried to find out a little more about the
list of words I have quoted from here and found this in the
World-Wide Web:

|The University of South Florida Word Association, Rhyme and
|Word Fragment Norms
....
|The purpose of this WEB site is to make the largest
|database of free association ever collected in the United
|States available to interested researchers and scholars.
|More than 6,000 participants produced nearly three-quarters
|of a million responses to 5,019 stimulus words.
|Participants were asked to write the first word that came
|to mind that was meaningfully related or strongly associated
|to the presented word on the blank shown next to each item.
quoted from the World-Wide Web.

I found it a bit suspicious that in my quotation all
the associations to "cadaver" also started with "C"!

|CASKET, CADAVER, .008
|CEMETERY, CADAVER, .007
|COFFIN, CADAVER, .006

In a different "association" list, I found:

|autopsy -- cadaver
|dead -- cadaver

. I looked into one dictionary of collocations. It has no
entry for "cadaver". A list of word frequencies gives these
positions (when ordered by frequency starting with the most
frequent word) for words similar or related to "cadaver":

314 body n
5385 remains (pl) n
5629 corpse n
9629 carcass n
12165 dissect v
13886 mummy n
16033 transplantation n (related to "cadaveric")
17338 cadaver n

That same source also revealed (most frequent collates first):

Common adjectives near "cadaver": human, medical, fresh,
curious, living, rotting.

Common nouns near "cadaver": dog, organ, body,
bone, skin, skeleton, transplant, kidney, tissue, animal.

Common verbs near "cadaver": use, dissect, search, remove,
harvest, lay, study, place, train, preserve.

Similar words: corpse, dead body, remains, body, stiff.

Yes, thanks!

And going one level up

I could have mentioned that although the noun cadaver is one I nevee
use, the adjective cadaverous is an ordinary word for me.
