I do a lot of writing; I am a self-proclaimed "wordsmith" who obsesses over using the best word possible. Spelling is important to me as well; in fact I am shocked at how many so-called "professionals" tolerate poor spelling. This dictionary is truly an "essential resource." With more than 100,000 entries and definitions, usage notes, word histories, illustrations,biographical and geographical names, as well as special reference sections, this book is a valuable resource for people like me who believe that words mean something, and that the pen is mightier than the sword. The Oxford Essential Dictionary is truly "the first name in reference."
