Okay, if a fucking dictionary is paywalled we have gone way beyond the red line for social recovery.

Eh dictionaries started out paywalled

I don't think the OED has ever been online for free. They took a different tack to Merriam-Webster and Cambridge, who figured that the ad money was lucrative.

Getting annoyed at paywalling is understandable, but we can't demand that companies make their stuff free just because we want it to be free.
