If you mean his publication of the American dictionary and the standardization of American English!.!.!.
Webster lived during a time when America was looking inward for culture instead of to Europe!. also, living 3000 miles away from Britain, of course English had changed with the Americans!. Www@QuestionHome@Com

I'm not sure of the reasoning behind your question!. Looking at Webster's biography, he seems to have had typical ideals and actions of people living at that time!. Hard work, religion, civic duty and family values are not idiotic at all!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
