Oxford Dictionary of English 3rd Edition

This is the real deal! Classic, thorough, and unbeatable resource for writers, researchers, and students. A bit heavyweight but worth the extra bicep work!! Absolutely recommended for every home or office.

This is the best dictionary I have ever owned and is indispensable for anyone who writes articles and essays. It is comprehensive with parts of speech, word forms, clear definitions of the different senses, and etymology. I found the illustrating examples particularly useful. The individual definitions are written clearly without excess verbiage. This hefty tome is bigger than and superior to most cheaper dictionaries but worth the extra money.

The media could not be loaded. I bought this dictionary from Amazon,vendor is good,it took about 7 days to get in the usps ,very comprehensive Dictionary,i don’t know why other people complained about the size,it’s big and I am glad it’s big with lots of information in it,my understanding is if a book is small than you can’t have much of the information,right?,so it’s not something that you can carry everyday in your backpack,it has to have a dedicated table for it,I am very happy with my purchase,love it

Offered as a gift to a friend, it's become a beloved companion.If you appreciate word derivation and distinction, this is agreat reference.

It is a nice dictionary to refer to whenever writing. The words visco-supplementation (referred to in today's language as gel injections) nor others used currently appear in the dictionary. It is probably better to look up the spelling of those words and such on-line and utilize a hard copy thesaurus instead, which I may eventually purchase. This book is large so only feasible if placed near you where you can turn the pages without having to lift up the book.

If you are looking for a perfect dictionary, then this is it. Every word has a detailed meaning and examples of how to use it. Some other Oxford dictionaries, such as the Oxford American Dictionary for learners of English, don't include many important words, which can be frustrating.There is a paperback version of this dictionary. However, I am not sure whether it includes all the entries and corresponding details.

I wish OED produced another edition near 2020, as this 3rd ed. was published in 2010. But I am overall very satisfied with this product — I recommend this product for the tactile learner; a 3D dictionary encodes the words into my mind better than most 2D phone / tablet / PC modes. Combining both modern tech + a hefty dictionary does me even better. Highly recommend this extensive tome of a dictionary: 12/10.
