they include part of the word in the definition for example when i tried to find the definition for tactful it included tact in the definition saying "having or showing tact". they also make it very difficult to navigate the website and also i could not find the other two definitions for tactful and had to look them up on a different site. would not recommend :(

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.

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.

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