"At present the dictionary is undergoing its first thoroughgoing revision and update. Around 70 editors, mostly in Oxford and New York, review each word in turn, examining its meaning and history, noting where meanings have changed—or where old definitions no longer suffice—and recraft the entries in the light of the most up-to-date information.
