Example sentences for: nsoed

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.
