Hi! I think an antonym would be disservice.

Good Day:
Some entries do, in fact, offer antonyms. To access these,press
control enter on a QWERTY keyboard, or space with dots 2-6 on a
braille keyboard. As for the specific question of service, it does
not appear to have antonyms for that word, and I can't really think
of any single words which would contradict the meaning of service off
the top of my head.

Hi listers. Can someone clarify something for me? Isn't it typical
of a thesaurus to include antonyms as well as synonyms? The thesaurus
which is part of the Oxford Dictionary software doesn't include
antonyms and I find this frustrating. Today, I couldn't think of the
antonym for service, regarding offering service to a customer. I
really needed to locate it in the thesaurus but, of course, there
were no antonyms. What are people's opinions as to the inclusion of
this in the Oxford Dictionary software and how viable is it? After
all, isn't this something which sighted dictionary and thesaurus
users would be able to access as a matter of course?
Thanks.
Michele
