The OED takes most anything in common use -- and rightfully so; that's
pretty much their mission. (Though I'm pissed as hell at them that they
don't have a non-Windows version of their current computer-based release. I
sent them an e-mail, telling them that, if they could do it on a web-based
subscription basis, they could almost certainly do it with some Java,
Javascript, and PDF, and they just replied, "Well, then, use the web." I
think they didn't quite got my point.)

Ack! Someone on the list defended MS in any capacity! Get the
Penguinistas to pay him a visit this evening...
