[New-Poetry] Dictionaires????

[Skip Fox]

This is good, but I don't see The Random House Dictionary of American Slang,
Webster's International Unabridged, Taber's Cyclopedic Medical Dictionary,
or The Completre Dictionary of Sexology as well as some of the "wicked
words" dictionaries or etymological ones.

 

But, you're right, this is LOVELY!! (And since I have can get OED on-line
through the univ. . . . hell, with a colostomy bag and this I'll may never
have to leave home again, as they say.) Thanks.

Throw 'em all away, Skip. Here's all you need

(except for the OED, of course).

I'm wondering what your desks (or chairs) have next to the computer (or book
or pad or . . .) by way of dictionary?

 

I have The American Heritage Dictionary of the English Language.

 

Of course I have dozens of others in including an unabridged, The OED, and
two vols. of The Random House Dictionary of American Slang as well as
medical, sexual, and foreign dictionaries, but The American Heritage, is
always within reach.

 

Question 2 (and this would be of great benefit): What are the best
dictionaries on the web, either free or otherwise?

 

(Maybe this was a question years ago, but I cannot remember.)
