An American classic, The American Heritage Dictionary of the English Language, Fourth Edition, is more than a reliable resource - it's a linguistic storehouse that invites readers to explore the riches of the English language. This calendar, back for the eleventh year, is based on that dictionary. It introduces a new utilizable word and its definition each day. Many definitions also include the word's etymology, its synonyms, and a note relating to its usage, history, or regional variation. The definitions on the Saturday pages are accompanied by illustrations. Each Sunday page features a multiple choice word quiz in which a definition is posed as a question on the front and the correct answer is provided on the back. Readers will take pleasure in discovering new facets of the English language every day.
