I am not quite sure I follow.
A dictionary? (Random words sorted into alphabetical order).

Dictionaries are sorted alphabetically, Not Random

Oi. Back off, ya mongrel! This is the first contest I have ever won!
Now I can strut around saying I've won a contest on a programming website.
And then look silly when someone (anyone, and for the first time) shows interest and says where?
Mind you, I think Kaeru Gaman has a pretty compelling answer to this as well.

yap, CherokeeStalker has it, because redundance was no point in the question.
....but I think dah aussie shlehmihl (hey, joke, dont be angry) and me make a good second place.
(he didnt say anything about the size of the dictionary)
oh... and have a nice day.
