Oxy moron



Anu Garg's A.Word.A.Day features the word oxymoron in today's issue (scroll to bottom of page to see entry for 31 March). I was moved to e-mail this comment to the author:

Subject: Re: A.Word.A.Day--oxymoron

At Occidental College (http://www.oxy.edu) several decades ago, my
friends and I observed that Oxy moron is itself an oxymoron.

BTW, as of this moment, http://www.oxymorons.info has a list of 895 them,
one of which is indeed Oxy moron.
