March 2003 newsletter

Readers of OED News will be well aware of the international nature of the OED. This applies not only to the range of varieties of English covered, but also to the geographical spread of places where work on the Dictionary goes on.

This international dimension runs through the articles in this issue of OED News: Madeline McDonnell and Abigail Zitin give some vivid recollections of their first year working in the offices of the OED's North American Editorial Unit in New York, while David Shirt offers some entertaining reflections on his work revising our coverage of the names given to birds throughout the English-speaking world.
