  This completely revised edition of the Collins Paperback Dictionary and Thesaurus has a fresh, updated text as well as many new features. It retains the dictionary and thesaurus entries on the same page for a one-stop lookup. The revised and updated texts have been compiled using the latest information on current English from the Bank of English. Spelling help is given for all irregular forms of words, and pronunciation help is given for all words considered difficult or confusing. Up-to-date language notes throughout the dictionary text provide advice on using English correctly and effectively. The matching thesaurus text gives the key synonym first, highlighted in bold so the user can see immediately which sense of the word is being referred to.
