W zasadzie nie polecalbym nikomu uczacemu sie takiego slownika bo po prostu moze sie nie przydac. No chyba ze ktos jest tak pierd****ty jak ja to moze sprobowac. Ale radze sie zastanowic jednak czy jest taka potrzeba.

This second edition of the Oxford English Dictionary amalgamates the text of the first edition,
published in twelve volumes in 1933, the Supplement, published in four volumes between 1972
and 1986, and approximately five thousand new words, or new senses of existing words, which
have gained currency since the relevant volume of the Supplement was published. The editorial
policies which informed each of the constituent parts of this edition are detailed in the
Introduction, which also includes information on the way in which the task of bringing the parts
together was accomplished.
The aim of this Dictionary is to present in alphabetical series the words that have formed the
English vocabulary from the time of the earliest records down to the present day, with all the
relevant facts concerning their form, sense-history, pronunciation, and etymology. It embraces
not only the standard language of literature and conversation, whether current at the moment, or
obsolete, or archaic, but also the main technical vocabulary, and a large measure of dialectal
usage and slang. Its basis is a collection of several millions of excerpts from literature of every
period amassed by an army of readers and the editorial staff.
