Description
Résumé:In addition to including searchable access to the Compact Oxford English Dictionary, this site features many other helpful resources for writers and students. The site is divided into several sections: Ask the Experts, World of Words, Better Writing, Games, Global English, and Foreign Languages. Each area has outstanding features, such as the wonderful "borrowings into English," in the Global English section. This section allows the user to click on a map and see what words from the chosen country have been adopted into the English language -- did you know that both 'bug' and 'flannel' are Welsh words? Other resources are just as enjoyable, interesting -- and practical. This site would be an exceptional teaching tool for upper-level high school English classes or lower level college students"--"Best Free Reference Web Sites 2004."
