The Oxford English Dictionary is Finally Online!

Lots of words! ("60 million words describing nearly three-quarters of a million terms illustrated by more than 2.4 million quotations") Lots of additions! (thong, body-piercing, cyberspace, ecotage, etc.) Lots of pop culture! (Those quoted include Quentin Tarantino and Ice Cube.) Lots of money, darn it! (Individual subscriptions are $550 a year.) Now that it is online, the OED is scheduled to be completely revised, a project slated for completion in 2010. The site itself is at http://www.oed.com/.
