zmježdhappy OED day
Today is the 124th anniversary of the publication of the first
fascicle of the
OED (actually and pedantically the NED, i.e.,
A New English Dictionary on Historical Principles), A–Ant, by the
Oxford University Press.
If you have the bandwidth, you can download the
first volume, which includes the first fascicle, at the Internet Archive site.

KallehHappy anniversary to the OED! Google should have had one of their special logos for their anniversary. I wonder if the OED will do anything special for their 125th anniversary.
