and still most people, when it comes to reliability of information,
prefer the Oxford English Dictionary. Strange, isn't it? It must have
something to do with the process of putting this information together.
While it might be very fast to correct errors in a wiki, there will be
10 new ones at the same time ;-). Everybody can at any time write
stuff in a wiki, but only experts are admitted for the Oxford English
Dictionary. Both has pros and cons.
