The classic vocabulary in the modern frame Rated 5 out of 5 stars
by a reviewer   from Munich, Germany
on Sep 4, 2006
I was really impressed by this software edition of the famous MW dictionary. It's very convenient and simple in use, so I started the work immediately after the installation without any additional configuration. The textual material is very good - it's full and easy to understand.
Really impressive ? any type of knowledge looks to be covered Rated 5 out of 5 stars
by a reviewer   from Marseilles, France
on Feb 22, 2006
The pros : pronunciation, with symbols that I know (it helps sometimes ? I?m French) ; looks very extensive : as a test, I went through a few searches in rather specialised matters as mathematics, chemistry, physics, botany, mythology, and every time the answers were outstanding ; very convivial and ergonomic ; etymological. The cons : I keep looking for something wrong ? I use it with my Palm Tungsten T5 : altogether make a very convenient everyday tool.
very helpful software Rated 5 out of 5 stars

Although I am English and have been educucated in England, there are still many many words which I do not know the meaning of, or the correct spelling of. I think this will be true of most people no matter what their nationalities are! This dictionary will always be with me inside my Sony Clie'' and it will help me out in my everyday life whether to look up a word I am not sure of or to find the correct spelling or it. This dictionary is very extensive and gives a good explantion of the word and how to pronounce it properly.
