I don't watch many six minute videos on YouTube in their entirety. It was great to watch her happiness with you and the OED. She reminds me of me when my wife surprised me with a Harley for my 50th.
No doubt.. Etymology is definitely not the study of fish. Silly man.. It's the study of words, their evolution and origins. That's not technically the definition, but i'm positive that it's got the right idea. Just saying. I am a big proponent of spreading correct(ish) knowledge. Sorry for being a stickler, but just couldn't let it slide. Hope she's enjoying the gift 2(ish) years later.
LOL.. Congrats from a fellow nerd!! lol I got myself a set after reading the book, "Reading The OED" and friends gave me "The Professor and the Madman" I KNEW I had to have the OED! Enjoy, enjoy, enjoy!
How sad that soon no one will be able to unwrap the ultimate gift! They won't be publishing it anymore. I remember when I got mine for my birthday. Check out my song Talkin' that OED Blues. It is on youtube and itunes.

I think he needs his wife to read the definition of etymology to him.
