5.0 out of 5 stars Ignore the Toronto Liberation Army rant, 6 Mar 2005
By Mark Whitaker (Manchester, UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Why oh why do so many good products get tarnished by single-issue nut-cases giving 1-star ratings?? Compare the previous review with the idiot who gives the Collins English Dictionary 1 star because of a lack of respect for the royalty. The world's gone mad.

This is a great dictionary, especially for the size. Penguin have excelled themselves with this whole range.

1.0 out of 5 stars Canadian and US English are different, 18 Aug 2004
By Canuckfcuk (Toronto, Canada) - See all my reviews
As a Canadian I was deeply offended by this dictionary. It refers to words as "color" and "center" as "North American" implying that Canadian English is the same as American English. WRONG! Canadian English is actually very British with a few exceptions. Colour, Flavour, Centre, Metre, Travelled, Labelled, etc, are Canadian spellings similar to the UK. To group Canada in with the US is lazy, sloppy and down right ignorant for apparent "language experts". One can only wonder how many other errors there are. Really unprofessional. Looks nice though...hence the one star.
