Oxford English Dictionary online	The most comprehensive dictionary of the English language, tracing the development of English in all its varieties from approximately 1150 A.D. up to the present day. It aims to cover the full spectrum of English language usage, from formal to slang, as it has evolved over time. It includes both main entries, which make up the bulk of the content, and cross-reference entries. Most entries contain information on all of the following: spelling, pronunciation, derivation, meaning, and usage. The usage of each word, meaning, or idiom in the Dictionary is documented through comprehensive examples drawn from quotations taken from printed texts of the present and the past. These quotation paragraphs begin with the earliest recorded occurrence of a term, and follow its development up to the modern period, unless the documentary evidence shows that the term has fallen out of use along the way.	1150 AD - present	Partial
