OED Online is now free for Editors Canada members!

We’re excited to announce another new benefit of membership: The Oxford English Dictionary (OED) Online is now free for Editors Canada members and student affiliates!

A personal subscription to the OED Online costs US$100/year, but you can now access it free of charge via the Editors Canada website.

About the OED

The OED is widely regarded as the accepted authority on the English language. It is an unsurpassed guide to the meaning, history and pronunciation of more than 600,000 words, past and present, from across the English-speaking world.

As a historical dictionary, the OED focuses not only on the meanings of the word, but also on the history of the word, and how its meaning has changed over time. The OED traces the history of the English language through 3 million quotations, from classic literature and specialist periodicals, to film scripts and cookery books. Updates revise and extend the OED at regular intervals, each time subtly adjusting our image of the English language.
