**En.OxfordDictionaries.com was previously sold to an American commercial company, Lexico.com, and whilst Lexico originally still used official Oxford English Dictionary (OED) definitions (and listed both British English ''and'' American English variations), in August 2022, Lexico.com is now owned by Dictionary.com, LLC. Sadly, all OED definitions have disappeared 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'! | |||
