  This dictionary combines the successful text of the Collins Gem Dictionary of English with a larger format. Over 5000 words are discussed and all entries are arranged in a single A-Z listing with thorough cross-referencing. The range of topics includes particular words and specific problems that might arise. However, the coverage also extends to wider topics such as accent, use of the apostrophe and sexism in language. In addition attention is drawn to changes of usage taking place in current speech and writing.
