NPR piece on the Oxford English Dictionary
In case anyone is interested...I caught bits of this show on the radio last night but haven't listened to it in its entirety yet. The interviewee spent an entire year reading the OED. I most definitely have the same fascination with dictionaries and I imagine many here do as well.

The O in OED stands for Oxford, not Old.

Thank you; I knew that but I am tired. I've corrected the post.

We've all been there. I just like italics.

At first I was thinking, "They have someone reading Old English? Cool!" Also tired.
