Little Oxford English Dictionary

I am English and I write in RP English_ RP English is the English I was taught in.Google translate is in American English and does not translate the words in RP English.This dictionary is in RP English that most Oxford and Cambride Universities write and speak in too.

I have an old version of this dictionary. I bought this one for my mother. She enjoys solving crossword puzzles and she has recently started reading regularly again, she said that she sometimes encounters words she does not know the meaning of. She finds this compact and comprehensive volume very useful. It also has a some add-ons such as lists of countries and their capital cities etc. packs a lot into a small space.

The book is a good size, and maybe I'm just a bit more wordly than I thought. I bought this to help with scrabble. To look up any word that I think might be a word, and I think I know what it means. But invariably the word isn't in the dictionary, even though it exists. I probably should have just bought a larger dictionary. There is a limit as to how many words you can fit into a small dictionary and still make it easily readable, obviously. The print is a good size though. It's easy to read, and I really like the general knowledge facts printed in the middle, like a list of the US presidents, Kings and Queens of England, etc..

It's a great small dictionary about the size of the palm of your hand. Depending on your hand size, in which case it might be slightly larger or smaller.It's nice to hold in the hand and the hardback...ness of the cover gives a weighty yet comfortable feel.It's compact but the words are readable, nice as a pick-me-up that you can have out. Everyone loves picking up a dictionary.

Léger dans la valise... Mais bien sûr, ça reste un livre de dépannage. Pour avoir mieux, il faut consulter les ouvrages plus complets. Quoi qu'il en soit, ce dictionnaire répond à la demande et propose un très bon rapport qualité/prix.

This dictionary is really good for it's size. I was shocked that it had most of the words that I needed to look up in there. I keep it in the car to look words up while listening to books on tape lectures and it's really fabulous. It's got the hard cover so you don't demolish it, and it's small enough so it won't clutter. The binding is well made and can sustain a beating too. I got it on sale, but it's worth the asking price.
