This is an essential tool for anyone interested in a good solid dictionary and the nuance of language. Compact and easy to use, this reference is an indispensable tool for academic study, prose/expository writing, poetry and homeschooling. Combining both dictionary and thesaurus in one saves a great deal of time. I keep a copy in my college backpack as well as next to my writing table. My teenage children find it useful for their studies as well.

The Oxford Dictionary gives you so many different definitions to words. It opens up your world when writing or preparing a speech. The bonus is the Thesaurus. A great tool to help you not get in a rut with words. It is my favorite tool for research and learning.
