January 18 is because British physician Peter Mark Roget, author of the first modern thesaurus (gutenberg.org/ebooks/author/20), was born on this day in 1779. Roget was a real all-rounder, he also invented the log log slide rule (doi.org/10.1098/rstl.1815.0003). This shows that "words people" can also be people".
