Notes
-----

The dictionary included in v3 is the same as v4, but with v4 the
OED started encrypting the dictionary files. They probably wouldn't
be difficult to decrypt, but I haven't the time or inclination to
do so. If anyone wants to, let me know how you get on and I'll
very happily incorporate support for it.

If your version of make supports it, and you have multiple CPUs, you
can use 'make -j' instead of 'make' to significantly speed up the
build process.

You can write to me in English, français, Deutsch, español, italiano, português, Esperanto, Cymraeg, Gaeilge, Gàidhlig, Gaelg, or 中文 (繁體或简体). I can read all these languages, but can't write them equally well, so may reply in English.

Oxford English Dictionary, 2nd Edition, Version 4.0
The definitive record of the English language

The Oxford English

Dictionary is the internationally recognized authority on the English Language, defining more than 500,000 words and tracing their usage through 2.5 million quotations from a wide range of literary and other sources. The text on the CD-ROM comprises the full text of the OED 2nd Edition, plus the three Additions volumes, as well as 7,000 new entries from the OED's continuing research.

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 OED covers words from across the English-speaking world, from North America to South Africa, from Australia and New Zealand to the Caribbean. It also offers the best in etymological analysis and in listing of variant spellings, and it shows pronunciation using the International Phonetic Alphabet.

As the OED is a historical dictionary, its entry structure is very different from that of a dictionary of current English, in which only present-day senses are covered, and in which the most common meanings or senses are described first. For each word in the OED, the various groupings of senses are dealt with in chronological order according to the quotation evidence, i.e. the senses with the earliest quotations appear first, and the senses which have developed more recently appear further down the entry. In a complex entry with many strands, the development over time can be seen in a structure with several 'branches'.

The Second Edition of the OED is currently available as a 20-volume print edition, on CD-ROM, and now also online. Updated quarterly with between one and two thousand new and revised entries, OED Online offers unparalleled access to the ‘greatest continuing work of scholarship that this century has produced’ (Newsweek).
