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.

  • 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 ).

  • \/; 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).

  • 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 .

  • 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.
