That's not a bad edition to have then, was just worried
you were using
one of the smaller 'Oxford' dictionaries that doesn't
reflect the true OED.

I also have the smaller edition, which is quite limited.
At some point I discovered I was collecting dictionarys.
Most of these books are in storage at the moment. Beside the
common Webster's New Collegiate, I have an Unabridged
Webster's (can't remember the edition and I think I have two
different ones), an American Standard, which is like the OED
in many volumes. I got that cheap because its missing the
map books. Also about five others.
I was quite surprized that I couldn't find enroiled in
the OED. I had no doubt that it was a "real" word but I
hadn't seen it in actual use before and was curious. Of
course, no dictionary is exhaustive, even the OED. Like
many, my reading vocabulary is much larger than my writing
one. I have no doubt Marc's is much larger than mine,
especially with his knowledge of some root languages to
English.
