Oh, Ok.
When I think of the Oxford English dictionary, the biggest one I usually think off is the Concise one, a copy of which we had at home and in the school library.
The only time I think I saw the complete one was at the local British Council Library
, and even then just to look at from afar.
Since then I've been spoilt by using an electronic dictionary for most purposes, and while it does have American spellings, it does get the job done most times
.
