Summary: 1 Stars
Look up 'arbutus'. I've owned three editions of this dictionary. I've thrown out all three. After thinking myself "lazy" for not looking words up, I started again and realized that my frustration was due to searching in vain for words that I could only find the meaning of on-line. My latest dismal attempt was with the word 'arbutus'. I remembered seeing it as the name of a yearbook, so I looked it up in all three editions of Merriam-Webster. M-W once again wasted my time (arbutus - trailing arbutus). Fortunately, I had a Random House dictionary that not only cleared it up, it gave some interesting details. If M-W really wanted to be helpful they could have just defined it as 'a vine'. If the latest edition of this 'exhaustive' dictionary still defines it as 'arbutus - trailing arbutus, try the RH book company's dictionary or another helpful one. Pretty bad for a dictionary named after a man who spent his life researching words.
