Daily reference

I originally purchased this app for the MacBook because it provides a good reference. Everything from help with pronunciation to synonyms is a fabulous resource.

My only complaint is the app on the Mac isn’t native to the M1. But I’m sure it will be soon.

Why do I love the Oxford Dictionary

As an octogenarian at this stage in my life, I look back to the days when as a young school boy my dad always spoke of the “Murray’s Oxford” as the ultimate lexicon to refer to. Things have not changed. When you refer to it, you know it is the ultimate. How delighted I was when my granddaughter a few years ago, when she was still not ten, asked me for a dictionary. What did I give her. You guessed the answer correctly! Why, of course the Oxford dictionary. She is a voracious reader and refers to it all of the time.

App back to its previous glory

This dictionary app works now after a problem with account verification that is now fixed. It is indispensable to people using English in the academia and research. It even adds to the great value of this version of the Oxford dictionary with sound, cross reference, in-depth analysis, and many more features.
