OED June 2008 Update
Dave Wilton, Friday, June 13, 2008
The online OED has just published another quarterly update, revising the entries from quittal to ramvert. New words added to the dictionary include subprime, adj.; wantaway, adj.; cookie cutter, n. & adj.; and radiophysics, n.1; this last referring to branch of physics dealing with ionizing radiation; the original entry, which is now radiophysics, n.2, refers to the physics of radio waves.
Editor John Simpson comments on the changes here.
