Besides Bibles I Love a Good Dictionary

This dictionary influenced the mighty OED. The Century Dictionary has been stuck in the mud for almost a decade. For the life of me I can't understand why. Please, let's get this incredible resource into publication. Bid!

For the life of me I can't understand why.

If this a resource that is regularly updated or is it stuck in 1913?

If the latter, it may provide a reason why it languishes.

Webster's 1828 dictionary still finds itself useful. A scholarly work from 1913 should get some attention especially given that it is some 12 vol. and has been broadly influential, not to mention it is only $30. Nevertheless, Binks I accept your reasoning.

Ironically it’s over a Century old and the title is The Century Dictionary 😁

I think you might need to define 'useful' in this context?
