The #English #language is huge, immense, enormous, titanic, prodigious. (All of these words mean “very large.”) The big, fat unabridged dictionaries have about half a million entry #words.

Language experts estimate that English may have as many as a #million#words if you count #scientific and #technical terms.

And like all living languages, English keeps growing all the time. So how many English words do you know already?

Probably many thousands. But just as you wouldn’t stay with the vocabulary you had when you were two or three years old, you won’t stay with the one you have now.

Your #vocabulary will keep growing as you meet new #words in your reading and hear them in #conversations, on radio, or on TV.
Your vocabulary is directly related to your #success in school. That’s why there are so many vocabulary #questions on state and national standardized tests. #Readers who evaluate your writing on essay tests also focus on your vocabulary, to make sure you use words precisely and correctly.

The Oxford Dictionary of Difficult Words

The #Oxford #Dictionary of Difficult Words presents the words we really need to know, without the added burden of those we never look up.

The definitions are concise and clear, and are enhanced by sentences and phrases that show the word, or a certain sense of it, used in context

Everyday words we know as well as we know our own names, and we use them as naturally as breathing. 

But what about those thousands of other words that we can't quite commit to memory but that comes up all the time in reading, in meetings, or in the classroom? Words like lucubrate ('discourse learnedly in writing'), demesne ('land attached to a manor'), and cynosure ('a person or thing that is the center of attentionor admiration') hover on the margins of our vocabularies.

We run across such words from time to time, and when we do we may not know quite what they mean, or we simply draw a blank.

Usage notes are there to help make your use of words more precise and powerful.

This dictionary will help you understand words outside your every day "working" vocabulary,words that are too learned, specialized, or highbrow for day-to-day usage. Abundant cross-references help distinguish words that are related ('deism' and 'theism') or opposite ('esoteric' and 'exoteric'). 

The Oxford Dictionary of Difficult Words is a handy-

reference that can be carried with you to enhance your reading and learning experience wherever you go.
