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.

\/; curiously, that is shown as a variant pronunciation under Asian, Asiarch, and Asiatic, and it is hard to see why it was omitted from Athanasian ; perhaps the NSOED editors have the inside skinny (a sense that is in, along with solid coverage of other neologisms, slang and standard).
