Description:
|
"The Oxford English Dictionary is the accepted authority on the evolution of the English language over the last millennium. It is an unsurpassed guide to the meaning, history, and pronunciation of over half a million words, both present and past. It traces the usage of words through 2.5 million quotations from a wide range of international English language sources, from classic literature and specialist periodicals to film scripts and cookery books.
"The content of the Dictionary is also being comprehensively revised. ... The remedial work of revising original 19th and early 20th century editorial material is expected to take until 2010. In the interim, results of the revision programme and additions of new words will be published online every three months."
