[Ads-l] Lexico -> Rock Holdings

[Barretts Mail]

The Lexico website now goes to dictionary.com, which doesn’t mention (https://www.dictionary.com/e/about/ <https://www.dictionary.com/e/about/>) the transition but does say it’s owned by Rock Holdings, Inc.

According to Wikipedia (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lexico <s://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lexico>), this has occurred as of two days ago:

###
On 26 August 2022, Lexico was closed and redirected to Dictionary.com.[16] Oxford Dictionaries Premium was still available.[17]
###

Rock Holdings (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rocket_Mortgage <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rocket_Mortgage>) holds Quicken Loans and Rocket Mortgage and acquired Lexico from IAC, another holding company. 

Does anyone have any more detailed information?
