Good concept; needs a native English-speaking editor
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 19 years ago
The concept of the book is great - it definitely fills a void in English-Portuguese dictionaries. I think the newest edition is harder to read than the previous ones. The real problem is that it doesn't seem like a native English speaker has edited it. Some of the slang terms, in particular the cross references, are incorrect. For example, for "Sugar Daddy," the dictionary says, "See 'Old Man'". Obviously the two concepts are totally disparate. My friends and I have never heard of many of the slang English words and expressions.
