Like many of my peers, I have long struggled to find the right dictionary for me. The OED is okay, but not very portable. Dr. Johnson’s is nice, but doesn’t include crucial new terminology like blogo-troposphere. Rhyming ones are pretty keen / yet lead to ruptures in the spleen!
For a brief, shining moment, I thought that today might be the day I found my dictionary, the one to place at my bed-side, all underlined and besmudged. I thought that just maybe, I had found the one for me.
Alas, it turns out that I agree with Annie of Quezon City, Philippines. This dictionary is fraudulent, son!
