The third edition currently is being prepared by a team of 80 lexicographers. A gargantuan task that will take a decade or more – publishers doubt if there will still be a market for paper.
The online version of the OED is much preferred to the paper version, probably because of the ease and speed it offers its users when it comes time to check the meaning or spelling of a word from the English language. The online edition of the OED has the added advantage of being updated regularly, while the printed format requires republication.
Oxford University Press spokesman said, “The first edition of the multi-volume Oxford English Dictionary was fully published in 1928, and the second edition in 1989.”
The digital version of the OED is viewed two million times per month for subscribers who pay $ 295 per year for service to the United States. However, only about 30,000 copies of this printed edition of the dictionary – a series of 20 volumes published in 1989 costing U.S. $ 1,165 – were sold.
