... added Reading the OED to my wishlist. When I was growing up I loved to read the dictionary and the encyclopedia. I have The Compact Edition of The Oxford English Dictionary and love to dip into it from time to time. Thanks for the recommendation!

Try Tim's "review" of The compact Oxford English dictionary... I grew up with the Compact OED (the two-volume set), and just got a copy of my own a few years ago. I also have the Concise OED on my PDA - not nearly as many words, and some funny omissions*, but great for "where did that word come from?" questions, which happen a lot in my family.

Another dictionary is The American Heritage Dictionary with an Indo-European glossary at the rear of it. Speaking of dictionaries. Has no one mentioned the Oxford English Dictionary yet. I was fortunate enough to get one of the two volume microprint set complete with magnifying glass secondhand and even if it isn't entirely up to date the word histories could have me reading the dictionary for hours I still didn't buy The Compact Edition of the Oxford English dictionary.

Fair enough, if it could be found in the WNT only and never mind that your purporting was proven wrong anyway, you might ... ... keerzang, slotwoord of uitsmijter, enzovoorts, tot tikkertje toe -- een heleboel. En dan hebben we nog niet eens de OED erbij genomen. Dat bespaar ik u maar.
Wie studenten in de toegepaste taalkunde, aanstaande vertalers, (ook) in de praktijk begeleidt, zal waarschijnlijk ook uit ... ... Canadian Oxford Dictionary. I was thinking of the noun, railroad, not the verb, and you only give the verb definition. My Compact Edition of the Oxford English Dictionary (1971) shows railroad (sb.) as being equal to railway (sb.). The OED also states that the noun Railroad is chiefly used in ... ... with access to academic databases like JSTOR (http://www.jstor.org/) and access to the online version of the 20-volume Oxford English Dictionary. ... (which I haven't cataloged).
The biggest ticket was a present, and one of the best I've ever received: the Compact Oxford English Dictionary.
