Enculturation is a fundamental concept in sociology and anthropology, referring to the process through which individuals learn and adopt the values, beliefs, norms, customs, and behaviors of their culture. This process is crucial for the continuity and survival of any society, as it ensures that cultural knowledge is passed from one generation to the next.

Walter W. Skeat and the Oxford English Dictionary

"Throughout his life, Skeat supported the OED by his reviews (today it seems incredible that once not everybody praised Murray’s work) and kept chastising his countrymen for their ignorance and stupidity when it came to philology. He never stopped complaining that people used to offer silly hypotheses of word origins, instead of consulting the greatest authority there was."
