<Proofreader>Birthday Words
The Oxford Dictionary has a
Birthday Word Generator which tells you what word began to be commonly used in the year of your birth. My word was "facelift." Not that I need one.

Your OED birthday word is:
oenophilic, adj.
Meaning: Relating to or designating an oenophile or oenophiles; wine-loving.
See the entry in the OED to see a quotation of its first-known usage
appropriate-ish, even if it is a word I don't recall ever hearing.

Download what?
It's just a web page where you click on the year, isn't it?

KallehFor me it goes to an Oxford Dictionary page with download instructions. I did what they said - twice - but it didn't load. It sounded fun, though.

BobHaleLook again geoff- the wino was me!
Kalleh - do you still have your subscription? It might be that subscribers go to a different page as the page I go to has a link to a susbriber only page.
What I see, after that link, is something that has decades across the top which you change by clicking an arrow on the right.
The specific year you change on the left.

KallehAh, that's it, Bob. My New Year's resolution is going to be to become an OED subscriber!
