Title: The biggest I have....CD VERSION
Review: I'm an avid collector of Webster dictionaries and this one is definetely the biggest one available, but it has serious drawbacks too.Firstly, the layout is very bad.When I click it, it seems to me that everything is a bit messy.It lacks geographical names, colloquial terms and the usage notes are rare and not very clear as well. This dictionary includes many dialectical words like"mud clerk" that are not included in other unabridged dictionaries.This book is helpful with pronunciation (there are usually several variants included)and etymology (for those who need it)Still, I would highly recommand Random House Webster's Unabridged instead, for those who need detailed and absolutely perfect usage notes and regional varations. Random House has only 320 000 words, but includes geographical names and proper nouns.4 stars overall for being the biggest and for some helpful option available on this CD
