Oxford Dictionary? What Oxford Dictionary?

I assume you are speaking about the Oxford dictionary and not the program. I've been running the alpha/beta for a while and almost never use the Oxford dictionary. While I still have the Oxford dictionary loaded I almost never use it. Occasionally I want a different perspective on a word and I'll look at it, but that is about it.

Plecodict has my dream combination of dictionaries. I've been using Wenlin for years and really like the ABC dictionary that is in there. Wenlin doesn't have a very good English-Chinese dictionary, though, so I was relying on my paper NWP dictionary for that direction. When I heard that Mike was going to use the ABC dictionary in Plecodict I wrote to him and suggested that he try to get rights to the NWP. It turns out he was already working on that and it worked out.

The Plecodict alpha was just good enough and the dictionaries were so great I deleted my Oxford software a long time ago. Pleco is still improving the program, but happy with it how it is. The main thing that was missing was the flash cards, which I don't use. If you are inclined to upgrade I'd do it now. I'd also get the NWP along with the ABC so you have good dictionaries in both directions.

Yes, I was refering to dictionary and not the program.

I do use the flashcard program--constantly, and I look forward to PlecoDict's flashcards.

More and more though, I wish I had a chin-chin dictionary for it. I wonder if they're pursing that...
