Dear At,

I must now time travel back to 1971 and certain friends, Mrs Dorothy Eagle
and Mr Richard Burchfield at Oxford University Press, in the dictionary
rooms where they are discussing the merits of micro printing- the latest
thing, publishing massive books with tiny, tiny printed words and giving
away magnifying lenses away with them so that we can read them in such
confined space...too many words and not enough paper...and now i learn
that the O.U.P are putting the dictionaries 'online'..so maybe that is the
answer, in the UK they are going to make the dictionary 'alive' to new
word productions by opening it to the 'net'...heaven knows where this will
take you and Leo and friends in your lexicographical meanderings....
love,
Andrew
