Have you noticed they're making print smaller than they did when we were younger?

I'm with you.....I'll be keeping my eye out for the full 20 volume version at a book sale only because I've got space available here at the stoat cave.  I love the ancient citations that they provide in the word histories and the extensive timelines.

How we think is a reflection of who we are, and language reflects, in many ways, how we think.  Nothing approaches the OED for a complete history of English.
