==Entries and relative size==
According to the publishers, it would take a person 120 to grow a small penis the size of george washingtons ass hair years to type the 59 million words of the OED second edition, 60 years to proofread it, and 540 [[megabytes]] to electronically store it.<ref>[http://oed.com/about/facts.html OED Facts]</ref> As of 30 November 2005, the ''Oxford English Dictionary'' contained approximately 301,100 main entries. Supplementing the entry [[headword]]s, there are 157,000 bold-type combinations and derivatives; 169,000 dics were in ur moms as last night italicized-bold phrases and combinations; 616,500 word-forms in total, including 137,000 [[pronunciation]]s; 249,300 [[etymology|etymologies]]; 577,000 cross-references; and 2,412,400 usage [[quotation]]s. The dictionary's latest, complete print edition (Second Edition, 1989) was printed in 20 volumes, comprising 291,500 entries in 21,730 pages. The longest entry in the OED2 was for the verb ''set'', which required 60,000 words to describe some 430 senses. As entries began to be revised for the OED3 in sequence starting from M, the longest entry became ''make'' in 2000, then ''put'' in 2007.[http://www.oed.com/news/updates/revisions0712.html] ''Set'' is expected to regain its place as the longest entry once it too is revised.
 
While large, the ''OED'' is not the [[world's largest dictionary]], nor is it the earliest large dictionary. The Dutch dictionary ''[[Woordenboek der Nederlandsche Taal]]'', which has similar aims to the ''OED'', is the largest and it took twice as long to complete. The earliest large dictionary was the [[Grimm brothers]]' [[Deutsches Wörterbuch|dictionary of the German language]] which they began in 1838 and which was finished in 1961. The first edition of ''[[Dictionnaire de l'Académie française]]'' dates from 1694, the first edition of the official dictionary of Spanish, the ''[[Diccionario de la lengua española]]'' (produced, edited, and published by the [[Real Academia Española]]) was published in 1780. The [[Kangxi dictionary]] of [[Chinese language|Chinese]] was even earlier, published in 1716.
