oaad 全名是oxford advanced american dictionary
对标的是oald。
该词典和oald10一样在OLD官网免费查询,就是oald是全免费的,oaad是部分免费(用得少,没法细说)

Oxford Advanced American Dictionary 其实不怎么好
以 cubicle 为例:
OAAD 把英式用法与美式用法混在一起了
a small room that is made by separating off part of a larger room
• a shower cubicle
• an office cubicle
看看韦氏高阶词典
1. chiefly US : a work space in a large office with a desk that is usually surrounded by low walls
• an office cubicle
2. British : a small space in a public room (such as a bathroom) that has walls for privacy • a shower/toilet cubicle [=(US) stall]

所谓的OAAD就是牛津惯用的一鸡多吃,其实就是NOAD的一个删节版,还整过一个“大学版”,“美语”也不是牛津词典的强项,参见#4的回复。
看起来更像是 ODE 的删节版,还以 cubicle 为例:
ODE
A small partitioned-off area of a room, for example one containing a shower or toilet, or a desk in an office
NOAD
A small partitioned-off area of a room, for example one containing a bed in a dwelling (本义) or one containing a desk in an office
