PW2 Using Wrong Dictionary

Yesterday, when I checked a word in my PW2, I noticed that the dictionary used was the New Oxford American Dictionary rather than the one it should have used: the Oxford Dictionary of English. This puzzled me.

My PW2 is at firmware version 5.9.7

I made sure that my preferred dictionary, the Oxford Dictionary of English, hadn't in some way 'disappeared' from the ereader. It's still there.

My kindles are never linked to wifi - I don't have it - so Amazon can't have interfered with the ereader. I found the User's manual and looked up how to change the dictionary, but the recommended solution didn't work.

The solution I tried was: go into Settings, select Language and Dictionaries, select the Dictionaries option. Here I found only one option, The New Oxford American Dictionary, whereas there should have been all the options in English.

Why isn't the Oxford Dictionary of English available to select?
Does anyone know how I can return to my native English dictionary look up?

Thanks in advance for any help.
