“I ♥,” “muffin tops,” and “ego-surfing” among recent additions to Oxford English Dictionary Online
LBCC Libraries are pleased to announce that the latest update to OED Online is now available through the library home page http://lib.lbcc.edu/databases.html#o (Click on Oxford English Dictionary Online.)
This latest release brings the percentage of the OED that has been revised above the 30% mark, and we have now come to the end of editing the letter 'R'. With over 645 senses, run is now the largest single entry in the dictionary, half as large again as the next-biggest word, put (the verb).
Read the Editor's introduction to the update, information on the new words, plus much more at www.oed.com. Or why not take a look at what the Editor and other OED lexicographers have to say about the update in a new set of short videos?
