5.0 out of 5 stars Far more important than a dictionary because..., 13 Dec 2002

By	Edward Barry "Out of the ordinary comes..?" (Suffolk, England) - See all my reviews (TOP 500 REVIEWER)

...this is one of the few books that you can actually use to self-educate. Most fairly literate people progress language acquisition through modifying existing structures and definitions. In this respect a source that actually arranges itself systematically in terms of synonyms and antonyms rather than just defining certain words is always going to win through.

As a teacher of English to young children and an aspiring writer, this edition is an invaluable tool because of its,
* lay-out (seems daunting on first viewing, but it does make sense)
* price
* range (essentially words of common usage as opposed to strictly technical vocab)
* distinction between the different 'Englishes' - I feel that this is relevant to anyone concerned with the cultural predominance of 'American English'

Every home needs one - and this is undoubtedly the best and quite possibly the cheapest.

5.0 out of 5 stars An invaluable aid for anyone interested in WORDS!, 11 Feb 2001

By	Carol Coaker (READING, Berkshire United Kingdom) - See all my reviews

I am purchasing a replacement for my Roget's Thesaurus, which has been a constant companion for many, many years. Not only useful for checking synonyms but also, if you love words, as most of my family do, you can have great fun - just reading them out loud......
