You're actually doing work for the OED? How cool is that?

well -- the Oxford University Press has a squillion different dictionaries (none of which contains the word 'squillion', is my guess), and the department i've been working with/for has been ELT dictionaries, or English Language in Translation; a couple of weeks ago was some kind of business thing, and this week i don't even know what. but, yes, while it's not The Big Book, it is the same stuff, only less of it. :-D
