All About Dictionaries is the place to learn about all of the different dictionaries out there, their history, and usage. We’re all familiar with the old favorite standards – the Oxford English Dictionary, Webster’s Dictionary – but do you know how many different dictionaries there are? Do you know how many different types of dictionaries there are? What their history is? Did you know that a famous law dictionary came out decades before even the venerable OED? Do you know what OED stands for? If your answer to these questions is “no”, or even if it’s “yes”, this is the place for you to learn all about dictionaries!
