Please do not show wrong examples in a dictionary. This has been always the only reason I didn't purchase the one.

A better place to learn to write English(Score:2)

Isn't a dictionary- but rather works of fiction. The best in the business will teach you more about how English is actually written than any dictionary ever written. It's the difference between fact and emotion- dictionaries are good to find factual meanings, but to get emotion, you need to turn to the people who are good at it.One I recommend is an up-and-coming young author, http://www.reginapaul.com/ [reginapaul.com]

Dictionaries sometimes show mistakes. It is not a dictionary that instructs how to use words but us humans. We determine how to use words in the first place. Dictionaries only pick up the words we used. That's what dictionaries may do.
