New words in the OED, 1900 edition
-
English changes over time. It's an interesting subject.
I know that their committees are the arbiters but in all honesty I use the one that was in print when I was in school.
I had the two book set with the magnifying glass.
I tried the next edition but just personally I found it more distracting than helpful.
I use it for etymology. Of course, it's the definitive reference. I personally am less interested in the inclusion or exclusion of new words.
I sold it for $50 in New Orleans. I'm glad. It would be so molded by now I couldn't use it.
I'd like to replace it one day.
