I read in the paper the other day that Webster's Dictionary is adding the word "google" to the newest edition. It will be a verb as in "to google" . It was a brief blurb I read, and I don't think they mentioned what the definition would be, but I guess we can figure it out.

Ain't in its first meaning below is surprisingly high-class in England - this from the OED again...
ain't, v. dial. and colloq.
[A contracted form of are not (see AN'T), used also for am not, is not, in the pop. dialect of London and elsewhere; hence in representations of Cockney speech in Dickens, etc.,and subsequently in general informal use. The contraction is also found as a (somewhat outmoded) upper-class colloquialism. Cf. won't, don't, can't, shan't.] - as in 1919 MENCKEN Amer. Lang. 146 Ain't is already tolerably respectable in the first person..‘ain't I in this?’
ain't, v. dial. and vulg. var. hain't, have not, has not. - as in 1884 ‘MARK TWAIN’ Huck. Finn. xxxv. 360 He ain't had no experience.

Seems Oxford has it all over Webster, then. Interesting.

I'm sure they serve different audiences in different markets.

I agree, but this brings to mind a thought, since you seem to have some knowledge. I wonder if the actuall definitions ever differ between the two books. Not the wording, but the definitions. I may need to investigate this on my own some time.
