ReviewsTo my ear and based on my experience, the definitions and the way they are sequenced-to denote a hierarchy of contemporary usage-is right on target...I suspect it will become the main dictionary I use from here on., The pleasure of thumbing through the Encarta dictionary is to see how swiftly words and phrases are assimilated into the language...a reaffirmation of the expansion of English in every sense of the word, The Most Ambitious Dictionary of Our Language...The New Encarta ISA Terrific New Référence Source., A rather remarkable foray into differing cultures, marked by the dictionary's 'cultural notes' and reminders that the same words used in different places, such as 'robot,' 'mail slot' and 'swing voter,' have very different meanings.
