[lit-ideas] Re: Word Origin Question

Point (sore) conceded. I have the Oxford Universal, the Shorter Oxford, the Century Dictionary and Cyclopedia, six editions of Webster, my grandfather's Nuttall's (there's a song in that phrase, no?) but not the thing I really need--that's at work and if I go in today people will have matters that need attending to and I'll never finish this evening's talk. 

One day I hope to come across a reasonably priced complete Oxford.

When will JLS be out of the swimming pool, does one suppose?

What? David Ritchie, famed collector of reference materials and

an extra point in our competition.
