How can you use “mwiii” in a sentence? Here are some example sentences to help you improve your vocabulary:
At the time of publication of Webster's Third New International Dictionary (1961), commonly referred to as Webster's Third (but in these pages, for the sake of brevity, as MW3 or MWIII ), I was director of the reference department of Random House, preparing what was later to be published as The Random House Dictionary of the English Dictionary - Unabridged Edition . It was therefore entirely inappropriate for me to comment on either the MWIII itself or the furor raised by its critics and supporters.
Thus, the first definition of interlude refers to a short dramatic piece performed between the acts of the miracle plays, and the common modern sense of `interval' is not met with till definition 2. That is merely a fact—many American dictionaries follow the same theme, notably, the MWIII .
Indeed, there is no definition of compartment in the MWIII that fits the sense to which it is stretched in the definition of hotel .
I checked in MWIII and in the OED 2e : neither yielded the definition sought (though the OED2e has a definition, labeled obsolete and obviously not the meaning sought, the first page of a book).
I could go on (and on) with other criticisms, but the purpose of this essay is to review Herbert Morton's book, not the MWIII , regardless of temptation.
