In altri casi, non ho menzionato i dizionari “minori” e neanche le vecchie edizioni che ancora accumulano polvere sugli scaffali ma, anche se ho già menzionato l’OED e Webster’s, mi permetto comunque un commento sul COD: è piccolo in confronto ma è sempre un capolavoro. Arido e formale, forse, ma sempre utile e, soprattutto, autorevolissimo. Il fatto è che il cliente italiano accetta sempre la parola della “Oxford”. Con CD (che io, però, ho ricevuto separatamente da qualche rivista, ma che non uso perché preferisco il Webster’s) presumibilmente costa di più. Se non mi sbaglio, c’è una nuova edizione.

The book is designed as a dictionary, and not as an encyclopaedia; that is, the use of words and phrases as such are its subject-matter, and it is concerned with giving information about the things for which those words and phrases stand only so far as correct use of the words depends upon knowledge of the things.

Preface (6th ed., 1975).
The preparation of the seventh edition of the Concise Oxford Dictionary has not involved such extensive changes as did that of the sixth, but consideration has nevertheless been given to several thousand points that have come to my attention since 1976, and many of these have led to further improvements and additions.
Preface (7th ed., 1981).
Abbreviations in general use (for example, those for the books of the Bible) appear in the dictionary itself.
Abbreviations and symbols used in the dictionary (7th ed., 1981).
This introduction is designed to help the reader understand the way in which information is presented in the Concise Oxford Dictionary, where, as the name suggests, compactness has been a primary aim.
