Oxford American Dictionary (Softcover)The one dictionary for americans who need to use their language well. Reviews "Contains words and phrases and colorful slang likely to be met in everyday usage in this country ... The 70,000 entries are compressed ... deliberately simple, but often sophisticated." The New York Times "The straightness of many definitions deserves commendation." Harper Magazine "The Oxford American has a new pronunciation system, in which words are translated into syllables of unmistakable pronunciation." Philadelphia Inquirer "The hundreds of footnotes in individual entries illustrating proper usage of difficult words are alone worth the price." Chicago Sun-Times Preface This new member of the Oxford family of dictionaries has been prepared especially for those who need a compact, upto-date guide to American English. It contains words and phrases likely to be met in reading and everyday life, including a number of slang, informal, and technical words and phrases. Names of states of the United States are included, as well as state capitals, terms used to designate the people of each state, and names of the provinces of Canada. Names of the countries of the world, including those not yet well known, are also given, as are names of the capital cities and the terms used to designate the people of each country.
