Happy Birthday, OED!

On Feb. 1st in 1884, a portion of the first Oxford English Dictionary (OED) was printed. This venerable dictionary is going strong today. UWW students and staff have online access to it, and can even sign up to receive the “Word of the Day” by RSS feed or click on “Lost for words?” to get a random word and its definition.
