How can you use “tbdne” in a sentence? Here are some example sentences to help you improve your vocabulary:
The new items, pinstriper and Planet X, are, not surprisingly, both drawn from the BDC , which provided the actual citation for pinstriper and the date of earliest occurrence for Planet X. It seems likely that the increasingly common acronym PIN , for personal identification number , issued by banks as a unique identifier for customers who use automatic teller machines (yes, ATM is in), which was in BDC was passed over for TBDNE because it appears as an entry in the Random House Unabridged Second Edition (1987), though ATM is an entry in all three.
A careful estimate indicates that the TBDNE contains about 9,000 headwords with an additional 2,000 or so other entry words; of these 11,000 or so entries, some 2,300 (about 21%) are phrasal.
The TBDNE has well over twice the information of the Merriam book, which lacks citations.
Those wishing to supplement their aging Webster's Third New International (Merriam, 1961) and unwilling to spend about thirty dollars more for the recent editions of the Random House Unabridged or World Book Dictionary would be very well served by the TBDNE . It should be noted, however, that the TBDNE , in including the work of its predecessors, represents a departure from their approach.
Sound citation analysis is, like good definition-writing, a rare gift, and requires, besides diligence, broad experience and a firm sense of the idiom of the language: Sprachgefühl . Fortunately, the editors of TBDNE have this in abundance, and the resulting excellence is manifest on every page.
