There's lots that's good about this book, but it's missing some important words, i.e. almost all the swear words, and words that have been used as racial slurs or pejorative terms for groups of people. Whoever made the decision about which words to include took a high-brow view of language and failed to include a lot of important word history. I wish I'd taken more time to consider that this edition was last updated in 1995. Language & attitudes can change a lot over the course of 25 years.
