Abstract
new concepts added, and ancient material removed. Few editors revise the text for words such as brain, even when the definition is erroneous. They are too busy inserting the latest words and are inefficient in removing the barnacles. The supplements of the Oxford English Dictionary do not correct errors in the d?finition of brain, but add compound words such as brainstorm, and electronic brain (an unsuccessful description of the computer). The definition of brain in Dorland was incorrect and unchanged from 1917 to 1981. The improved version still defined a dead brain.
