Review: A must to get - I am only online for once a week, so I am not usging the online features of the Dictionary. To tell you sincerly, really I feel I do not have to! The dictionary is very Rich and described easily any phrase and word, including if it's British or an American word/phrase. It has after the charatcer J information about countries in the world, measures of feet inches cm which for me, as European, is a must. Often I get a letter from a friend saying it is 58 F degrees in Mexico for example, and all I have to do is look for the section after J charatcer and see the measures. The pages are light and I find the hard cover much better than the soft cover and so I bought it. The only thing I am not satisfied with is the word of introduction and References to the online Dictionary. I do not find it convinient to look online for any word I don't find in the head and I do not find it faster with online Dictionary. Perhaps soemtimes you don't have to know what a word mean, if you can understand the context of the sentence. There is an addition to the Dictionary that those that came before did not have - certain words has addition(some sentences said)of the 1911 word used so you get a glimpse to the past. I like the Dictionary, and the hard cover is of good quality. I would recommend the hard cover more, and the tradition of Oxford dictionaries being one of the best is in doubt. IT IS the best. at least for me
Review: A definite upgrade, but it has its drawbacks. - As a keen amateur author, I’ve used the 11th edition of this software for many years. Even the British version of Microsoft’s Word dictionaries have an American bent and I write strictly British colloquial English (nothing upsets the Yank critics more. ;-)). This 12 edition uses a larger, busier widow than my old version. It does have the facility that enables words to be book-marked, that I know I’ll find very useful in the long term. I envisage that I will be able to dispose of that text file of the unusual (or highly forgettable) that I’ve amassed over the years. However, to make good use of it, I would say that a very large monitor is required (or double monitors as in my own set-up). The default window the program opens in is quite large (and as I said, busy) it takes up about a quarter of my second screen (I do have my monitors set at their maximum resolution, by the way.) and I can’t see that I’ll be able to use this version of the software on my laptop.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The best one yet, loads more content.
*by B***I on 19 September 2024*

Huge improvement on previous editions. Okay for adults, but the paper thickness for the pages is very thin, I worry about them easily tearing. However this is good value for money.
