The Merriam-Webster Dictionary

understandable in todays english and understandable. very helpful in my bible study research when needing synonyms

I wasted a lot of gasoline looking for a simple paperback dictionary that didn't cost double digits. Gave them to some kids in my congregation with the assignment each week to look up the definition of a big word I used in my sermon that day. Told the kids that when the power when out and they couldn't access Google, they would not have to be stupid! It is really packed with definitions; more than sufficient for the vocabulary I use (except the words I make up; preachers do that). Print is on the small size, but I could read it well enough without exposing my presbyopia. It was exactly what I was hoping to find.

I wanted a dictionary that would be a great size to have by my side while I read books, in case I need to look up a word. This dictionary fits the bill perfectly. About the size of a mass market paperback, this dictionary is easy to hold and look through, compared to a larger, more unwieldy dictionary. I have only had a word or two that I could not find in it so far...and there are many other pieces of information that make up for the lack of the esoteric word or two...a periodic taps, some maps, etc.

I bought this for college and I have used it a lot to write papers, but it is outdated. It was very cheap which was good. You might be better using the internet, but if you need it for an in-class assignment and can't use your phone or laptop, it's great.

This dictionary has everything I wanted in a small, inexpensive dictionary. It has the briefest possible descriptions for each word. Yet so far it has had all the words I've need to look up, except for just one. It doesn't tell you the root meanings or origins of the words. It basically gives one or two synonyms. It seems to be meant for exactly what I use it for-- reading in bed, needing something handy but small for quick word lookups.

There are many pages in this dictionary that aren't necessary. There are sections such as "geographical names", "biographical names", and "foreign words and phrases", that I would never need to reference. I use this dictionary to refer to whilst I'm reading. Currently, I've had about a 50% chance of finding the word I am looking to define. I think those (in my opinion) filler pages should be replaced with more words and definitions. I realize this is not a "complete" dictionary however, I thought my chances of finding a word I need defined would be better than this.

I had an old pocket dictionary from probably the 70's. I like to have one near when reading as not understanding a word may change the meaning of the author's intent. Times have changed and my old faithful was not up to the task anymore. So I just needed to get an updated version. The one I ordered was about the same size. It was used but the vendor sent an almost new copy. I am back in business.

I am a teacher of young gifted readers. They need a collegiate dictionary for the caliber of words they read (from old classics such as Heidi, Call of the Wild, Bambi, etc.) Since the kids are small, they need a lighter weight dictionary than the bound copies. It is small so fits in their hands and book bags. It has worked very well for their needs. The only suggestion is that the dictionary be bound in such a way that it doesn't want to flip shut but wants to remain open a bit better.

Produto veio muito bem embalado. Loja super confiável e honesta, voltaria a comprar com certeza e recomendo a todos!
