The OEDILF has changed its name. For legal trademark reasons we can't continue to use the Oxford English Dictionary as part of our name. From now on we shall be the Omnificent English Dictionary In Limerick Form.

Omnificent means unlimited in creative power. Perhaps it's a pretentious term to apply to anything tangible, but as an aspirational statement it lets everybody know how high we've set our sights. 650 words down; half a million to go.

The web database is pretty close to public release. We've been entering and workshopping limericks in it and it's been pretty stable. Fun times are coming.

Perhaps by the time you get to P, "packbawky" will have entered the official compendium, and, as such, merit a limerick of its own. Maybe even "impandemonate", "bepeeved", and "hosebanger"!

(My money's on the packbawky. Those things get everywhere.)
