Description
"Webster's New World Dictionary is a precise reference tool carefully created to meet the needs of the most demanding user. Definitions are accurately written to convey the most up-to-date information in a user-friendly, easily understood style. Commonly used foreign expressions that should be italicized are clearly identified; and an innovative feature is a syllabification system that distinguishes between preferred word breaks for line-end hyphenation and possible but less desirable breaks. In this updated edition, new entries map the frontiers of English in an era of unparalleled diversity and rapid development, while more than 150,000 entries ensure that you'll find the word you're looking for ... and a great deal more." "In today's information age, in which clarity of expression and understanding are at a premium, and the ability to communicate crisply and accurately becomes more important every day, a high-quality desk dictionary is absolutely essential. Webster's New World Dictionary, Third College Edition, is such a dictionary."--Jacket.
