Good find: Reader Digest's American usage dictionary from 1983

While moving my grandmother's belongings during her relocation, my mother found this like-new Reader's Digest usage dictionary from 1983. It has more than just usage, though; it is also a neat linguistic resource that explains many linguistic concepts, groups English loan words under the languages from which they were borrowed, and lists unique words from different American dialects.





Rattray, D. (Ed.). (1983). Success with words. Pleasantville, NY: The Reader's Digest Association, Inc.
