Ron schreev:
 >
>  _The Oxford English Dictionary_, _American Heritage 
> Dictionary_ and _Webster's Dictionary_ are a bit more reliable, the 
> _OED_ especially containing numerous expressions that have been around 
> for a long time but are rarely used and tell you more about obscure 
> items with which to signal educational levels.  I own no stocks in the 
> company, but I still recommend getting a copy of the abridged version 
> (at least), because it comes with etymologies as well.

Parts of the aforementioned dictionaries can be consulted online:

OED:       http://www.askoxford.com/dictionaries/
Webster's: http://www.webster.com
AHD:       http://www.bartleby.com/61/

I regularly employ Webster's.

regards,
Henry
