ERRATA LIST                LAST UPDATED April 27th 2006
The errata lists below have now been changed to reflect:
1) The frozen list (Feb 7th) of agreed corrections for a reprint of CSD in 2006
A pdf format single-page list of the agreed corrections has been provided by Collins and is available HERE
2) Those corrections which do not impact on the adoption criteria nor the internal integrity of CSD and thus have been agreed to be postponed until a second edition (as yet unscheduled).
IMPORTANT NOTE During April the DC has been inundated with COSD entries that are misinclusions (verbal inflexions of non-verbs, incorrect plurals, words unsupported by any of the agreed sources) - We thank those who have been identifying these errors. The full errata list has now been taken offline becaue it is constantly changing but if anyone wants the latest copy they can email Dictionary Committee

If you find any additional errors of omission or inclusion then please email
Darryl Francis (WESPA DC Chair).

CSD1 REPRINT - FROZEN LIST OF CORRECTIONS
This is the list of all agreed corrections scheduled for the CSD reprint. Wherever possible the corrections will be made to the main body entry, otherwise the words will be included in an appendix list. All words to be deleted will actually be removed.
Because of the need to re-set the 10-15 letter M section Collins have been able to reflect the deletion of the misincluded M words that are too long (greater than 15-letters) in the reprint.
