It seems oddly coincidental that after mentioning Joe Clark’s new book, on understanding Canadian English last week, news comes through that the Oxford Dictionary is to close its office in Canada, and publish the Canadian Oxford Dictionary from its base in Oxford, England.
The company will publish future editions of the “Canadian Oxford Dictionary” with the assistance of freelancers and the lexicography department in Oxford, England, Stover said. “We’re quite confident we’re going to be able to keep our finger on the pulse of Canadian English,” he said.
They could always ask Joe to consult for future editions I guess.
