Awesome! Thank you for the info. It makes sense that some of the less used or useful words of Shakespeare and Chaucer might still need to be in the dictionary. :-)

Love the dictionary question and answer! I have often wondered what it took for a word to make it into the dictionary. The word “ghost” history is fascinating, especially with how prevalent it is today. Thank you for all the research and resources (I do love the OED). Now, does a word ever get expelled from the dictionary? If so, why? Things that make this fellow nerd go “hmm”. :-)
