Search the Compact Oxford English Dictionary of Current English (online)
This site traces the history of English dictionaries from the 1500s to the present day. You can examine how words change their meaning over time, and how scholars have argued over ideas of 'correct' spellings. You can see how new words have travelled into the English language from all over the world, having been transported in scholars' books, woven into the tales of sailors, carted about in merchants' crates, or brought from overseas by migrants. You will also discover how English words have travelled out of England, to the Caribbean for instance, where they have developed new forms. You can read about the secret languages of pickpockets and vagabonds, and learn how much toilet humour there was in 18th century England.

Grandiloquent Dictionary
Rare words in the English language
This is the result of an ongoing project to collect and distribute the most obscure and rare words in the English language. It also contains a few words which do not have equivalent words in English. At present, the dictionary contains approximately 2700 words, though it is constantly growing.
Following a large number of requests, pronounciations are now being (slowly) added to the listing, although it will be a long time before they are all added.

Appeals list:
The list given below contains words and phrases which have appeared in the OED News "Appeals Lists" since 1995. Items marked with an asterisk appear in the most recent issue of OED News.
Words or phrases which appear on the "Appeals List" are those currently being drafted or revised for the Oxford English Dictionary for which the documentary evidence is incomplete. Often these are slang or colloquial items which cannot be researched in specialist texts and are most likely to be turned up by a general reader in popular or non-specialized literature.
Usually the appeal is for an earlier example than our current earliest (e.g. "antedate 1970" for a word for which our earliest example comes from 1970), but sometimes the appeal is for an interdating where there is a large gap in the OED's quotation evidence (e.g. "interdate 1589-1910"). Occasionally we ask for a postdating (e.g. "postdate 1875"), if an editor feels that an item being revised is still current but has failed to find any recent examples through the usual avenues of research.
If you can help with any of these appeals, please send information to oed3@oup.com.
