Jesse Sheidlower, editor at large for the OED, said Dr. Ogilvie’s comments were being taken out of context, and that Dr. Burchfield was being unfairly besmirched. He said Dr. Burchfied “did not delete anything.”

《牛津詞典》特約編輯傑西·舍伊德羅爾(Jesse Sheidlower)稱，奧格爾維的評論被斷章取義了，伯奇菲爾德遭到了不公正的污衊。他稱，伯奇菲爾德“沒有刪除任何詞”。

“What Burchfield did was create an entirely new supplement in four very large volumes,” Mr. Sheidlower said in an interview. “He included most of the material in the 1933 version, but not everything. He felt that some words were so esoteric that ‘they don’t have to be in my supplement.’ That is what editors do.”“
伯奇菲爾德的工作是編完了整整四大卷新的附錄，”舍伊德羅爾在一次採訪中稱，“他收錄了1933年版本中幾乎所有的詞條，但並不是照本全抄。他認為一些詞太生僻，‘沒有必要出現在我的附錄中。’這就是編輯的工作。”

 That said, Mr. Sheidlower added, the 1933 entries not included in the four supplements did not vanish. “Those words are still there, and they are being added to OED3 online.” Among the restorations so far, he said, were automobilize (American usage) and aberglaube (German, for a belief in things beyond the certain and verifiable).舍伊德羅爾又稱，那些在1933年附錄中出現但卻沒有收入這四卷附錄中的詞條並沒有消失。“這些詞還在那兒，它們會被添加到《牛津詞典3》的在線版 本中。”他說，被恢復的詞包括“automobilize”（美語，駕駛或乘坐汽車）以及“aberglaube”（德語，迷信）。
