The Random House Dictionary of the English… de Dictionary
The most comprehensive dictionary we ever owned.
This is the dictionary I use the most, even though it's useless for any coinage of the past forty--odd years. (We've got the internet for that.) It's got most of the words I look up; the collegiate Webster's is too little, and the really big Webster's is too huge. The old miniaturized OED is awkward, and the internet isn't always convenient. Besides, you can't browse Answers.com like you can an actual dictionary.
I used to use this when I was trying to write lyrics or poems, but never succeeded much. I wonder if lyricists ever refer to it?
OAH gift on our first Christmas 1969 what he ask for.
