Jesse Sheidlower and Elizabeth Bogner take great pleasure in
announcing the birth of Maisie Frances Sheidlower, born at
7 lb., 5 oz. and 19 3/4" at 6:42 A.M. on Tuesday, September 14.
Mother, daughter, and father are all doing fine.

Also, I wanted to let people know that I am leaving my position
at Random House to join the Oxford English Dictionary as
Principal Editor of its newly formed North American Editorial
Unit. I will be spending a little time off to get Maisie
settled and then going to Oxford for a few months and should
be set up in Old Saybrook, the current headquarters of the
Oxford U.S. Dictionaries program, by January or February.
This e-mail address will remain good. Anyone with thoughts or
suggestions for the coverage of Americanisms in the future
OED is encouraged to get in touch.

P.S. Sorry if this appears twice--I originally sent it to
the old list address.
