New Oxford American Dictionary

The New Oxford American Dictionary
Frank R. Abate (Editor)

An American dictionary created by the American editors at Oxford's U.S. Dictionaries Program. It is based on computer analysis of Oxford's 200 million entry database of contemporary North American English, including English dialects of Hawaii, Mexico, Puerto Rico, Canada, Bermuda and the Franglish? dialects (a kind of French Pidgin) of Quebec, Montreal, [St. Pierre]? and Miquelon?.

Some regard The New Oxford American Dictionary (NOAD) as the American translation (two countries separated by a common tongue) of the New Oxford Dictionary of English (NODE), published in England in 1998.
