In battle of the Big Three dictionaries, American Heritage stands out on iPhone

by Ben Boychuk, Macworld.com

Every modern English dictionary stands in the shadow of the Holy Trinity of Lexicons: The Oxford English Dictionary, Merriam-Webster, and American Heritage. With millions of words, definitions, literary references, origins and illustrations, these dictionaries are monuments to centuries of language and learning. All three present a depth of scholarship and attention to editorial detail that the upstarts simply cannot match.
