Assignment: Prototypes

Make 3 "dictionary" style objects that map from words to their definitions.

1. english: contains the definitions for the keys "house", "tree", and "street"
2. americanEnglish: contains definitions for "elevator" and "truck". This object should use prototype delegation to include definitions from the english object
3. britishEnglish: contains definitions for "lift" and "lorrie". This object should use prototype delegation to include definitions from the english object
4. dynamically add a word to the english object, and make sure that it is available on the other two
   Use Object.create() to make the prototype relationships. This function does not come with JavaScript, you will need to include a copy from http://javascript.crockford.com/prototypal.html
   Do not use the keyword "new" for this exercise, except in the definition of Obect.create
