Ireland is stuck in a legal drama over an ex-teacher. #EnochBurke and his large family of religious fundamentalist headbangers are in a four-year battle with #WilsonsHospital school. The dispute began with the school's request that staff respect a pupil's request that when a pronoun is used, they be referred to by the prounoun "they".
#SingularThey is at least 651 years old, which may be a bit modern for the #BurkeFamily.
The #OED tells the story at https://www.oed.com/discover/a-brief-history-of-singular-they/

@brianbilston For anyone else who didn’t know the term, here is the earliest use of “obnubilation” in the #OED. “Neither can the Moone be eclipsed but..in her farthest posture from the sunne: then is she prostitute to obnubilation.”

Peter Gilliver, who I had the brief pleasure of working with for about a year at the #OED, has set up this site for his writings about the history of the #OxfordEnglishDictionary and the people, who helped create it. Worth a read!

I'm #watching The Man in Room 17, a 1960s #UKTV show about an expert who is consulted on odd criminal cases. He doesn't leave the office, like Nero Wolfe, though in this case his Archie Goodwin also stays inside.
The current case involves a pretty woman, the secretary of a presumed industrial spy. Dimmock (the assistant) says he'll call her and offer to hire her at twice the pay, to see her boss's reaction.
Oldenshaw (the boss) notes how curious it is that Dimmock's imagination blossoms when a female appears in a case. Dimmock picks up the phone to call, and Oldenshaw says he'll call: "I'll speak to her like an uncle."
"A libidinous uncle," retorts Dimmock.
"The word is li-BYE-din-ous, dear boy," says Oldenshaw, stressing that the second vowel is long.
Except, no, says the Oxford English #Dictionary, and Merriam-Webster agrees. (And yes, I did just type 900 characters over what may have been a joke I missed. It's one of those nights.) #OED

Oxford #English #Dictionary (OED) Adds US Hispanic Words in Latest Update
"The #OED already records more than 2,000 words of #Spanish origin, with the earliest examples dating as far back as the 14th century. In this update, the OED has added to that total, drawing on words and phrases shared by Hispanic Americans as well as those specific to the three largest #Hispanic groups in the US [...]."

Good to see Northern England getting more explicit recognition from the OED.
I was also delighted to be reminded of the existence of the word "apeth", which I have not heard in speech for decades, and to learn of its etymology; as a child, I thought it had something to do with apes!

As I am sure many of you know by now, I love #crypticcrossword -- and I have the relevant associated dictionaries for that: Chambers, Bradmans, etc.
But what I've been thinking about is the Oxford English Dictionary. It ocured to me that I don't own one. Hmm, and it turns out were I to own one, I'd probably use it a lot.
So I looked into this, and found the following:
If I wanted to go top of the line, there's this:
https://www.amazon.co.uk/Oxford-English-Dictionary-second-Volumes/dp/0198611862/ -- I'm not sure I could justify that much money! But if people are recommending it then... maybe!
There's also the second edition:
https://www.amazon.co.uk/Compact-Oxford-English-Dictionary/dp/0198612583If I wanted to "slum it", there's this option:
https://www.amazon.co.uk/Shorter-Oxford-English-Dictionary-Sixth/dp/0199206872 -- this looks interesting, and a but more compreshensive than your average smaller OED.
I guess at this point, I'd love to hear any recommendation people have.
Thanks to @lgsl for sanity-checking this in the first instance. :)

Follow-up on "brownfield": very satisfying that the OED examples for this compound cover the full range of possible spellings, that is 1. concatenated (= as one word), 2. spaced (brown field), and hyphenated (brown-field). In addition, while "brown-field" only occurs in quotes, the two other variants occur both with and without quotes.

'I'll stick to English, thank you very much'. Not sure why Edward Stourton needed to be so chippy about #Welsh words entering #OED..? As a broadcaster, words are your bread and butter. As long as they're not Welsh, I guess.

Ich muss unsere Verwaltung ja auch mal loben! Ich habe um 12:15 Uhr zwei Anfragen gestellt und habe um 13 Uhr zwei Antworten, bei der eine die Bitte bereits vollständig erledigt hat!
Da es in diesem Fall um wesentliche Infos fürs Leitungshandeln geht, ist das eine wirklich gute Sache!

Since Lexico stopped carrying the Oxford English Dictionary online, I was worried about access—@[email protected] to the rescue! Thank goodness we Wellingtonians can access it through our #library and long may that remain. #OED #WCL
