This is awesome! And I think I’ve owned a lot of these over the last two decades ✨

Excellent. I also have the American Heritage Dictionary. I did an unboxing on my channel. I heard that the panel has now dissolved after the last printing. So who knows what they’ll go with in upcoming editions.

What about the Oxford Dictionary? Did I miss that?

May I know, how many headwords are in MW Collegiate Lexicon? (Usually, the dictionary states more headwords than correct numbers of headwords( in dust cover) in order to attract readers or users)., ✍️
