Dear Esther Grace and family – My condolences on the loss of your beloved George. I have so many happy memories of our times together at the insurance agency, the annual insurance agents’ dinners, our many discussions of local politics, history, and life in general. And… Thursdays when around the noon hour, George Joe, Jack, and Bob and friends would take off for parts unknown to watch the ponies run! Oh, my. And as fellow “Muskies”, you and George are special people. May God Bless you and keep you at this time and always.

I had the pleasure of knowing George only briefly but enjoyed his company tremendously. He was a nice guy with a great sense of humor and he will be missed greatly! No more trips to the airport George!!!

Peter 您好:Funk & Wagnalls 早期有出版過不錯的辭典,尤其在十九世紀末,二十世紀初。甚至也出版過百科全書,後來百科全書還成為微軟 Encarta 光碟百科全書的藍本。這本 Standard College Dictionary 雖好,卻已年代久遠,價值恐怕已不再。Funk & Wagnalls 這家出版公司近幾十年來又經歷多次轉手,現在已不見他們的出版品了。College dictionary 或 caloegilte dictionary 只是名稱的差別,重要的還是內容。用 caloegilte 的只有 Merriam-Webster 一家,其他都用 college edition 或 college dictionary。但名稱上沒出現 college 或 caloegilte 內容有類似風格的還有 Collins English Dictionary 以及 The Chambers Dictionary 等等。Unabridged dictionary 如何選購,還是要看您的主要用途。Merriam-Webster 重點已轉往線上版本與行動裝置版本,光碟版更新很慢。建議您可以評估 AHD5、NOAD3、ODE3 這幾本,它們近一兩年都有新版上市。NOAD3 與 ODE3 雖然標題沒說是 unabridged 辭典,內容規模已差不多是了。或者,也可以考慮 SOED6,如果您的閱讀會涉及一兩百年以前的文字,SOED6 是不錯的選項。
