	I was going to look up the current usage via the online service, 
but then discovered that it costs UK £350+VAT/ US $550 per year for a 
personal license (see 
<http://dictionary.oed.com/public/subscriptions/licence.htm>). 
Riiiiiiight.

	Tell ya what.  I'll consider switching usage when I can find a 
freakin' copy of the goddam thing that is being sold fourth or 
fifth-hand, and at a price I can bloody afford.  Oh, and it has to 
demonstrate this usage as being primary, too.
