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

It is worth reminding ourselves that the NSOED is a British dictionary, although that might not be a particularly intrusive factor in its use, for variant spellings have been given ample coverage.
It must be noted that definitions are ordered historically (as the title of the NSOED implies), not by frequency.
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 ).
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.
At a rough guess, the NSOED contains about 200,000 such “entries,” or some twenty per cent fewer than the Random House Unabridged [ RHDU ], the popular dictionary nearest in size.
