**En.OxfordDictionaries.com, the worlds original and most {{Cambridge-Dictionary|authoritative}} English language {{Cambridge-Dictionary|dictionary}} owned and hosted by Oxford University Press (OUP), was previously sold to an American commercial company, Lexico.com, and whilst Lexico originally continued to use official Oxford English Dictionary (OED) {{Cambridge-Dictionary|definition}}s (and listed both {{Cambridge-Dictionary|british-english|British English}} ''and'' {{Cambridge-Dictionary|american-english|American English}} variations); in August 2022, Lexico.com is now owned by Dictionary.com, LLC. Sadly, all OED definitions have <u>disappeared</u> from Dictionary.com, and it frankly has some very serious errors. Its entry for [https://www.dictionary.com/browse/aircraftsman aircraftsman] is factually incorrect (it is categorically NOT a 'noncommissioned officer in the RAF'). Its entry for [https://www.dictionary.com/browse/raf RAF] lists some blatantly incorrect example uses of 'RAF'! | |||
