The present second edition offers approximately 1500 new or expanded entries, as well as many modified and additional senses, and fresh usages. As the London Times puts it, 'the whole compilation illustrates perfectly the way that language evolves to fit historical and geographical circumstances'. The purpose of this short article is to show how DNE both captures the folklore and folk- and sea-ways of an 'English' work time pre both Atlantic oilfields and pre-Confederation Newfoundland, and serves as an excellent states model for Australia, or 'provincial' model for New Zealand.
