Not all of it, a sampling, enough really. For every pithy comment,
there's a ton of dross, and it's quite enjoyable to read the ODE at
times, at least it can be educational, not that I expect that most
students actually open to a random page and read a few citations for
fun. There's one thing I can say about the OED that I can't say about
twitter, no dross.

My mother was an English professor. When she mentioned the Oxford
English Dictionary to one of her students he said "Oh yes, I've read
that".
