Greetings,

I have embedded video of OED Editor in Chief Erin McKean's
recent talk at TED on 'Redefining the Dictionary' here:

The video is in Flash.  Click on  (click to play) to start.
Ms. McKean's provides brilliant insight on lexicographical
compilation and the future and past of the dictionary.
