Merriam-Webster Opiniões 13

this is the worst dictibaly i ever used dont try they make up words but when I try and make up a word an amazing word for a matter of fact I get delicned like boy who u think u is

Keeps freezing and throwing me out mid game. Very very very frustrating and exceedingly poor. One star is too good for them.

I am a college teacher teaching linguistics and other language-related subjects, and I have been a subscriber of Merriam-Webster Unabridged for many years, perhaps for more than ten years or so. Then the other day, I was blocked by their website because they adopted a defective free service called Cloudflare Turnstile, which is supposed to block bots only but actually humans as well. When I reported it to them and explained its problem to them, they terminated my subscription without my consent, and then a month later they even deleted my account, i.e. registration, completely without any explanation. They have not answered my inquiry since then. I must consider them inconsiderate and evil. Stay away from them at all cost.

Their dictionaries are bad dictionaries in any case. I used to use them once in a while, but I have never used in my classes any of the definitions they provide because nearly all the definitions are inappropriate.

I discovered the reason why. Their dictionaries are actually compiled by incompetent college graduates who are not specialized in linguistics in the first place except maybe one or...just one. Furthermore, none of them hold a doctorate. Checking their dictionaries is like asking a college student about the meaning of a word. It is totally meaningless and absurd if you have graduated from a prestigious college or hold a master's or doctor's degree.

I was able to find different descriptive words used for the same topic. This helped me with my research.

Contains the word "shipping". Expands on it further with an even more slangy acronym. This should be enough to prove that the dictionary has gone insane and is no longer an educational facts-based resource.

Words We're Watching: 'OTP'
One true pairing
What does OTP mean?
OTP is an abbreviation meaning "one true pair/pairing."

Where did OTP come from?
In the realm of fandom, OTP refers to a fan-created coupling of characters: fans who think two characters make a great romantic duo envision those characters' lives together, and share their imaginings with other fans. The author of the Twilight series, Stephanie Meyer, creatively twisted her fans' OTP of Edward Cullen and Bella Swan by depicting them in different gender roles and "shipping" them—that is, pairing the two in a romantic relationship—as Beau Swan and Edythe Cullen in her book Life and Death.

Claims to provide a spelling test for English, but whats American spellings. Not amused, came here out of pure pettiness just to let you know that.

English is from England.

Like their digital version of dictionnary, very easy to access and follow.

Sick of companies getting political and trying to influence their customers. Stay out of elections and stick to your business!

Changing the meaning of a phrase just to help the democrats get into power... disgraceful! You are a danger to democracy!

I purchased learner's dictionary English and requested a refund but there was no response from you, it's scam.
