Ah, now this is a job for The Concise Oxford Dictionary, 10th Edition, Revised 2001; a lumpy reference tome of some 1708 pages and 2¼" thick, which would be 57.15mm for the metricated people; such is the exhaustive compaction of information therein that my reading glasses are demanded.

Therein lies my error, for I used the Gage Canadian Dictionary....."only $9.95" emblazoned on it's top right corner. At just under 50mm, the space saved under the Oxford version must be because of the missing English terms.
Ignorance is bliss.
