10 years have passed and I'm still using this great dictionary ! It's one of the best English dictionaries ever produced. It's a comprehensive dictionary of current English, and is written in a straightforward and readable style.Features:- It has numerous encyclopedic articles covering a wide range of subjects e.g. current affairs, important people throughout history, science and technology, medicine, history, the arts, philosophy, mythology, sport, places like countries.- Chronology of world historical events. Sometimes when I feel bored, I just open the dictionary and start to read this attractive section !- It has some clear grammar and usage of a word (but not compared to Longman's Dictionary).- It contains word origins, which makes me rush to open it if I want to learn more about the origin of a word.- Appendices containing: Countries of the World, The Commonwealth, States of the USA, The British islets and constitution, The US constitution, the UN, the European Community, Kings and Queens of England and the UK, Prime Ministers and Presidents, World map section in color, and more !Useful dictionary for your office or at home.Enjoy using it.
