Which dictionary do I buy? And what is difference between one and the others? Β« 1.Oxford dictionary 2.collins dictionary 3.cambridge dictionary 4.macmillan dictionary 5.american.heritage 6.merriam-webster dictionary Β»
...and Wikipedia has for years. But no library has been able to say whether it's in the Oxford English Dictionary orβif notβwhy?
"hydrail" was first used in a then-closed multi-agency international meeting at the US DOT Volpe National Transportation Systems Center (8/'03) and in the scholarly International Journal of Hydrogen Energy (February 2004).
There have been 14 annual International Hydrail Conferences, almost all in big universities, held in ten countries.
Yet today lay writers just make up alternate names like "hydrogen train" β probably because lexicographers don't 'get' technology or economics.
To enable a single seven-character Internet search argument to pull up the big hydrail picture and to counter "The Babel Effect" drag on the fuel cell rail transition, major reference source omissions want prompt mending.
A friend of mine is learning English, and I'm thinking of buying her the American Heritage Dictionary as a gift.
I know that the earlier editions were considered to be very good, but I haven't seen the fifth edition.
Does anybody have any comments on how it compares with earlier editions?
Thanks
I get that part of it is Germany's heavy de-nazification process, however during the Cold War era, West Germany still had a lot of heavy Nazi sympathizers and there was no real de-nazification in Germany until a few years after reunification because of pressure from the East which implemented heavy de-nazification protocols from the beginning of Soviet occupation.
However despite the amount of Nazi sympathizers/nostalgists in West Germany, which even had plenty of ex-NDSAP members in government and high business positions, nowadays you see almost no one of German descent claiming that the era of Nazi Germany was their "heritage", and the whole ordeal happened less than 100 years ago. Yet the Confederacy, which fell 157 years ago, still has millions of Americans - some whose ancestors weren't even living in Confederate states during the small time it existed, vehemently claim that the CSA is their "heritage".
What caused this mass amount of Americans living in the ex-Confederate states, and even some living in non-Confederate states, to claim that the Confederacy is their "true heritage" and that the USA which has long both predated and outlived the CSA is not their "true" home country? And why has this obsession with a country that barely existed for 4 years been concentrated to the US, and never occurred in other countries with short-lived fascist governments?
Obviously Slavic cultures are pretty obscure to most Americans, who mainly associate Slavs with Russians or the USSR, which makes the whole thing even more interesting to me. But in reality, I've noticed that people with Slavic last names aren't actually associated with anything specific, and sort of blend in like the Scots-Irish for example. Think people like John Kasich or even fictional characters like Mark Brendanawicz. I'd like to hear your thoughts.
