  The successful Millennium Edition is now updated. People and places, which have proved such an asset in the Dictionary, have the latest dates and populations. This enables you to have all the facts and figures at your fingertips, as well as the whole breadth and depth of the language described and explained. Collins English Dictionary covers the whole range of English: from historical to modern; from formal to slang; from aeronautics to zoology; from British Engish to Australian English. All this is presented clearly, in explanatory entries that are easy to find and well laid out. With the added feature of thumb tabs. In addition there are notes to help you deal with difficult or disputed points in written English; pronunciations guides for spoken English; and etymologies that trace the roots of modern English.
