"The Canadian Oxford Dictionary establishes a new authoritative standard for dictionaries in Canada. This book serves Canadians like no other dictionary, answering their basic questions about the language by giving them advice on Canadian spelling and usage, and defining more Canadian words and senses (almost 2,000) than any other dictionary. With about 130,000 words, it combines in one reference book information on English as it is used worldwide and as it is used particularly in Canada. Definitions, worded for ease of comprehension, are presented within entries in order of their familiarity or frequency in Canadian usage, making the dictionary easy to consult."--BOOK JACKET.
