Why I Love OED

Because the first time the word base-ball appeared in print was in 1815 in a little book called Northanger Abbey by a little-known author named Jane Austen.

Because the word of the day is Pepper Spray.

Because we have a free trial at school right now.

I just recently lost my access to the OED through BYU. I was supposed to lose it right after graduation (nearly two and a half years ago), but somehow I could still log in until a few weeks ago. I've got a compact OED at home, but that's not nearly as convenient.
