Downloadable version from WordWeb Software

[edit]

The article says that the SOED is downloadable from WordWeb Software. (Specifically, it is listed here, but you have to click "show all".) However I have doubts as to the legality of this. Oxford University Press's web site doesn't mention a downloadable version. I have a SOED CD-ROM and I know it is copy-protected, and it is the same version as OUP are currently advertising. I've sent a request to OUP asking about the legality of the WordWeb download. Mitch Ames (talk) 02:13, 27 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

The WordWeb Software version is officially licensed from OUP. There is now also a Mac OS version. Cmbant (talk) 08:07, 12 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]


I have the pocket OED dated 1939 and it says "third edition". It is not a reprint of the second edition. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.116.113.220 (talk) 04:51, 19 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

7th Edition publication date?

[edit]

Hi, any announcements or speculation when the Shorter 7th edition will be published and sold? We could add a paragraph to the entry! Thanks IQ125 (talk) 23:36, 2 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

ISBNs

[edit]

In this set of edits, some IP added a lot of publishing fact(oid)s, with ISBNs.

SBNs didn't exist before 1965. Therefore a number of these ISBNs couldn't have been right.

I've removed the obviously misplaced ISBNs. I've left the others, but they need to be checked. -- Hoary (talk) 05:03, 2 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

What's with the "?"
