BobHaleSet to run
This passed me by at the time but has been reposted in
Peter Harvey's blog.Apparently "set" no longer has the longest entry in the OED. That honour now goes to
"run".

KallehI can understand the different senses (624 for
run and 430 for
set), but I don't understand what they mean by 124,000 words for
run and 60,000 words for
set.

arnieThe articles in the OED use 124,000 words to describe the 624 senses of
run and 60,000 words for the 430 uses of
set. Although don't forget that
set still has to be updated ...
