What is the "Oxfored English Dictionary"? Where does one buy a copy?

But would agree with you about the Oxford one. I think *most* reasonably 
well educated people in England would accept the Oxford English 
Dictionary (link seems dead at http://www.oed.com/) more than Websters 
or any other dictionary.

I'm not quite sure why this topic has generated so much interest. I 
originally started it about the SS20 and set it to one or possibly two 
newsgroups. Certainly not to "aus.computers.sun", "uk.comp.sys.sun" or 
several of the newsgroups that have now been added to the list. I will 
not bother adding alt.usage.english to the list!!
