Incomplete entrees, bad interface by Ross
This dictionary is absolutely horrible. It's definitions are frequently incomplete, giving the most common usage of a word without giving any less common usages. Of coarse the main reason to use a dictionary is to look up those less common usages. The interface is also awful. A word must be entered completely and correctly to be looked up.

Disappointed by Unknown
I purchased this dictionary thinking that I would be able to link it directly into my Microsoft word software and unfortunately for me that is not the case.
