The concern for fidelity to the good old tradition of excellence at Oxford is omnipresent in this ambitious dictionary. Robust, informed, learned, beautiful. Written and carefully printed, this dictionary knows is revolutionary while respecting the work of these predecessors. It is particularly easy to use thanks to the phonetic symbols that appear on each page - a wonder for those who do not have all the phonetic alphabet in mind. You can find comments on the origin of a very large number of words, the different uses as well as recent additions such as texting and emoticons! Frankly, as a beginner teacher, I am proud of this dictionary that reflects the realities as well as the developments of my native language and I am sure that this book will accompany me throughout my career. Sincerely and highly recommended.
