Excellent for Students!,
This review is from: Franklin MWD-400 Pocket Merriam-Webster Dictionary (Office Product)
This handheld Franklin MWD 400 electronic dictionary is an excellent buy because it is efficient and accurate, as well as small and easy to carry around, and relatively inexpensive. It has a spellchecker that is comparable with higer priced, more elaborate electronic dictionaries; it offers several feasible options. It offers viable definitions for thousands of the most commonly used words. The purpose of the dictionary is just that: to be a dictionary - it is NOT just a spellchecker [which often is not helpful in other models] nor is it cluttered with a scheduler or other distracting major features: It focuses on words, their spelling, and definitions. This is a must for any serious student, whether college or high school. I am now requiring it for my college English students.

1.0 out of 5 stars
Elementry,
By Douglas R Nobile (New Orleans, La United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Franklin MWD-400 Pocket Merriam-Webster Dictionary (Office Product)
I have never written a product review but I felt very compelled to do so after buying and using this product that had received such high marks. This product does not even contain the most basic words that a middle school student would come across in their daliy work and I a very certain that this would be of no use to a college student. I read the review of this product that the university english professor had posted highly endorsing this product. This will be of absolutely no use to any college unless they are looking up words like "house, car, people, ect." This machine will not give definitions for many of the basic words that it can spell such as "compell." There are some good spell checks but this is not one of them.
