How does one get the OED fix such an obvious error?
- maxerickson 9y agoI imagine you just have to tell them about it. That should be the case, if they are actually as serious as they act.
- jstarks 9y agoThat’s not the OED, though. There are multiple dictionaries using the Oxford name.
- firethief 9y agoIt's just a little outdated; that used to be the main use of the plant. Now people have found you can "microdose" it for different effects from profuse vomiting.
