In honor of the ninety year anniversary of the publication of the first edition, the Oxford English Dictionary offers individual subscriptions for £90 or $90 during this celebratory year.  I gratefully accept!  My institution no longer can afford its OED subscription, so I have been foundering a bit.  What to do without access to my much loved resource?  With these happy news about the special price, I have obtained my own subscription for the year: let the birthday candles glow!

I dearly hope they have a hundred-and-eleventh birthday event as well…
