good--but from a British-English point of view, May 27 2009
By rwx "991234xhr" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Spanish Dict Plus Grammar (Paperback)
The problem with the Collins dictionaries is that their vocabulary is primarily British English. This is especially troublesome to the American user where the English term is colloquial or slang. E.g, what on earth does it mean to "suss"? I don't think it's unreasonable to expect a dictionary to provide the American-English counterpart in all cases.
