This new edition has over 12,000 new entries compared to the last one and it is due to the cultural changes that the world has gone through. New entries like the words internet , e-mail , blog , chat , and computer are examples of the need for a revised version of such an important work in the Spanish language. Even though the dictionary is based on Spanish from Spain, it is filled with new words adapted from the English language.
Even though MarÃÂa Moliner based her research on the Real Academia Espanola Dictionary, she enriched the Diccionario del uso del espanol with terms used on an everyday basis in the streets or in Media. Hence, it includes entries and expressions that are not found in the Real Academia Espanola Dictionary.
