Internet Kills the Oxford English Dictionary

kateoplis:

The next edition of the Oxford English Dictionary will never be printed due to internet’s impact on book sales. This, after 21 years of work by a team of 80 lexicographers.

In 2070, how are CR and I going to continue our Websters vs. Oxford definition battles? I guess we’ll have to have two Nooks by then to read digital versions.
