    I love that there are strong opinions like this out there for dictionaries.

    You’ve convinced me. I’m ride or die for OED now too.

      I never really thought about choosing a side, but I am a staunch supporter of the Oxford comma. I guess now I know which side I’m on. Let’s fucking go

        Oh, extra points for the Oxford comma, too. That automatically grants you Pope status.

      Hopefully you’re an “Oxford comma, ride or die”, too.

        Of course! I’d have thought that went without saying. I’m not a barbarian.

          I’ll be deep in the cold, cold ground before I recognize Missouri give up my Oxford comma.

            Oooo! Oooo!

            I once worked with a guy from Missouri who said, “you know that little stub that sticks down into Arkansas? If we cut that off and gave it to Arkansas, it’d raise the average IQ of both states by 10 points.”

            Always thought it was funny, but never knew if he was joking.

      I once read an article praising the 1913 edition of the Webster’s dictionary and I have been using it ever since (in the form of GNU Collaborative International Dictionary of English). That with etymonline makes the reading experience quite pleasant.

        Webster’s still had morals in 1913. I wouldn’t shun a 1913 edition.

      Anyone have the definition of OED?

        It’s the Oxford English Dictionary
