mabfan and
gnomi are in their respective offices.)
mabfan: There is a new edition of the Concise Oxford English Dictionary.
gnomi: Yay! On September 2.
mabfan: In the UK it is out now. It's like Doctor Who.
gnomi: Aha! It's bigger on the inside than on the outside!
(after some consideration)
gnomi: The new Concise OED differs from the Doctor in one major way -- it's on the 12th edition, and the Doctor is only on his 11th.
