Headline making news from LexicographyLand this week:
http://news.theage.com.au/breaking-news-world/australian-physicist-spots-dictionary-error-20100511-uusm.html
Gasp! Egads! Someone found an error in the Oxford Dictionary and now the world as we know it is about to end!
Who would have thought that a dictionary with over 301,100 main entries compiled by mere mortals (and the mentally unstable http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Surgeon_of_Crowthorne) would have an error! I would be impressed if we only found one.
