A good dictionary is an important tool. It will tell you not only what a word means but also how it is used. A dictionary needs to be printed again about every ten years. Languages develop and a good dictionary must show these new changes.
A new English dictionary will only tell you most people use the language today. It will not tell you what is right wrong. It may tell you the right time to use a word. If only people use a word, a dictionary will tell you this or not list it.
