Rosa Posted January 10, 2014 Report Share Posted January 10, 2014 I use two dictionaries when I read or write. The Oxford and Collins. It so happens that the Collins is a pocket dictionary and so it gets used more than the Oxford which I'd prefer to use . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sidney Posted January 12, 2014 Report Share Posted January 12, 2014 I use Collins Gem English Dictionary, it's just a small dictionary, and I've had it with me since I was 10 years old, since we were required to have it at school. Until now I still use it eventhough it's worn out, like the pages are disintegrating already, lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daimashin Posted January 12, 2014 Report Share Posted January 12, 2014 I mostly relied on the Oxford dictionary because it has detailed explanations of words. I've been using it for as far as I can remember. But nowadays, there are so many online dictionaries I don't use it as much anymore. I now always refer the thefreedictionary for meanings and thesaurus. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tintiano Posted February 18, 2014 Report Share Posted February 18, 2014 I depend on the Free Online Dictionary when I'm online, but when I'm offline, I use the Oxford Dictionary. Having said that, I must state that I seldom, if ever, use a physical hard copy dictionary. It is simply too cumbersome to do so in the technological era. It all boils down to convenience.

pahagwl Posted February 21, 2014 Report Share Posted February 21, 2014 I have been using Oxford Dictionary since I was very little. Its printed every year by the Oxford University Press in England. I like it because it gives very concise meanings of the most difficult of words. It also has the reputation of being one of the best in the world.

Cookiesandcream Posted February 26, 2014 Report Share Posted February 26, 2014 For the app, I use wordweb because I find it easy and simple. But I have a hard copy of the Oxford dictionary which I rely more on. Plus I like to physically hold a dictionary because it makes me feel more important.

Denis Hard Posted March 8, 2014 Report Share Posted March 8, 2014 The Sage. I don't think it's that popular but is definitely one of the best digital dictionaries. Actually, I found it when I was searching a thesaurus. It's a combo: dictionary and thesaurus. It's free so if you any of you guys want to see for yourselves if it's any good, you can download it here:http://www.sequencepublishing.com/thesage.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Litnax Posted March 9, 2014 Report Share Posted March 9, 2014 I always stick with Oxford, either hard copy or as online reference. I don't think I will switch to any other anytime soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
diprod Posted March 9, 2014 Report Share Posted March 9, 2014 I use Mirriam and Webster. I also love using Thesaurus lately to see other words related to a word I'm looking for. I'm a writer so this one helps me a lot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
