** The Oxford English Dictionary is Finally Online! **
Lots of words! ("60 million words describing nearly three-quarters of
a million terms illustrated by more than 2.4 million quotations") Lots
of additions! (thong, body-piercing, cyberspace, ecotage, etc.) Lots
of pop culture! (Those quoted include Quentin Tarantino and Ice Cube.)
Lots of money, darn it! (Individual subscriptions are $550 a year.)
Now that it is online, the OED is scheduled to be completely revised,
a project slated for completion in 2010. The site itself is at
http://www.oed.com/ ; read the OED press release at
