How can you use “nsoed” in a sentence? Here are some example sentences to help you improve your vocabulary:
The NSOED is an impressive, extremely usable dictionary for those sophisticated enough to know how to use it, by which I mean not only Americans: those who have an earlier edition would be well served to replace it with this one.
It must be noted that definitions are ordered historically (as the title of the NSOED implies), not by frequency.
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 .
Were space available, many other strengths and weaknesses of the NSOED could be enumerated in detail; but it would be more useful to offer an overall assessment and to suggest where this dictionary might fit into a library, personal or institutional.
