The Newest Dictionary for the New Millennium
Including the Most Up-to-Date Words!
Unrivaled Coverage of New Words and Meanings
Keeps Your Vocabulary Up-to-the-Minute
Random House Webster's state-of-the-art Living Dictionary DatabaseTM enables its team of expert editors to add new words as soon as they become current--faster than any other college dictionary.
Shouldn't your dictionary include the newest words from technology (DVD, extranet), society (assisted living, road rage, Roth IRA), slang and jargon (jellies, halfpipe, jiggy) and more?
Sensitive Treatment of Offensive Language Helps You Choose Your Words Carefully
Over 300 entries for terms that refer insultingly to ethnicity, gender, class, disability, and sexual orientation have been completely revised.
Clearly visible usage notes, strong warning labels, and explanations of meanings indicate offensive language far more clearly than any other dictionary.
A Full Vocabulary at Your Fingertips
Over 207,000 clear definitions give the most common meanings, spellings, and pronunciations first, so you can find them quickly and use them accurately.
Hundreds of expert usage notes help you choose exactly the right word, and avoid common mistakes.
A One-Stop Reference Resource!
Up-to-date biographical and geographical entries are listed in the A-Z dictionary--no need to hunt for them in separate sections.
A 40-page Ready Reference Supplement of essays, charts, and tables helps you use English more efficiently--including a Guide for Writers, a guide to Avoiding Insensitive and Offensive Language, eight pages of world maps, and much more.
