Oxford Dictionary of English - Catherine Soanes (Editor), Angus Stevenson (Editor)

Amazon.co.uk Review: For many speakers and learners of English, the word "Oxford" spells authority about language. The second edition of the Oxford Dictionary of English is no exception. Any dictionary which comes from Oxford University Press (whose origins lie in the Middle Ages, the foundation of the university and the dawn of printing) tends to be in a different league from its competitors. Based on the "Oxford English Corpus", language databases, which amount to "hundreds of millions of words of written and spoken English in machine-readable form", this hefty single-volume dictionary has four million words of text. That includes 355,000 words phrases and definitions, 12,000 encyclopaedic entries and 68,000 explanations. The statistics are mind blowing.

The rearing of a child will involve two people; there is every reason that your partner's pregnancy should also involve the two of you, together.

Eats, Shoots & Leaves: The Zero Tolerance Approach to Punctuation

Lynne Truss. Description: Everyone knows the basics of punctuation, surely? Aren't we all taught at school how to use full stops, commas and question marks? And yet we see ignorance and indifference everywhere. "Its Summer!" says a sign that cries out for an apostrophe. "ANTIQUE,S," says another, bizarrely. "Pansy's ready", we learn to our considerable interest ("Is she?"), as we browse among the bedding plants..

Reviews:
Telegraph Magazine, May 7 2005
Before Home UK was published it had begun to acquire the status of a scared text.
