Example sentences for: nsoed

How can you use “nsoed” in a sentence? Here are some example sentences to help you improve your vocabulary:

  • There are, as we shall see, other differences; but on the most superficial level one might observe that the NSOED offers more information about fewer words, which may well prove an enticement to those who already have a largish dictionary (even the RHDU ).

  • It must be stressed, however, that although the NSOED might include fewer headwords—it has no biographical and geographical entries, for example—it generally accords each entry fuller treatment.

  • The problems of binding a 3800-page book are formidable, but it can be done, and I believe that OUP customers would have been better served by being offered a one-volume edition (perhaps with a needed lectern of its own), enabling the NSOED to compete more readily with the other main contenders among large dictionaries, the MWIII and the Random House Unabridged .

  • Also, the preceding comments leveled against coverage of American English should in no way affect those who care little about how Americans use the language, for, in many respects, the NSOED is simply a superior dictionary.

  • It must be noted that definitions are ordered historically (as the title of the NSOED implies), not by frequency.
