The Oxford English dictionary online is too expensive
ยฃ100 gives you a year's access, not a month's! But most people who want to access the Oxford English Dictionary want it to look up what a word means in English. You don't want the Oxford English Dictionary for that, which is a large academic work that lists every meaning a word has ever had in English. For the meaning of a word now, you're better of getting access to the Oxford Dictionary of English, which can be accessed for ยฃ16.66 per year. More on reddit.com

August 26, 2024 -

Not sure how to start this, but I've been pretty bored lately, and I've been wanting to read the English dictionary. All I've found were the ones where i have to search the words individually, but i want to read one like how I'd read a book where it gives you all the words with their definitions. An app also works, it doesn't really matter as long as i can read it.
