  • Thought I'd mix things up a bit.
    Here is me opening a brand new copy of the Merriam-Webster Collegiate Dictionary - 11th Edition.
    I bought this today (Friday, July 7th 2017) from Chapters for $35.95.
    This will replace the dictionary I have from 1989 (it's 28 years old... come on... I needed a new one)! Enjoy!

    It's nice seeing someone excited about a dictionary. I had the Webster's 10th, but I'm probably wrong, because that was around 1968. I highlighted in yellow everytime I looked up a new word. I have to credit my dear mother for giving me a curiosity about words, their origins, and their various meanings. She's gone now. But appreciating language, saying something precisely, has always been close to my heart. It's all about communication, folks, and our ability to talk to one another.

      Amen my friend. My mother has passed too… and I have her to thank for my love of words, dictionaries, word games, and especially those daily Jumble puzzles in the newspaper.

      This dictionary is amazing. My previous dictionary was from 1989. I was way overdue for an update.

    Its shortage of examples make it a difficult to understand words in real context, comprately Oxford or Cambridge.
    Still i like it, this mars its beauty.
