Nowadays there is quite a big variety of English dictionaries to use. They differ from each other very much. So everyone can choose what he/she likes.
My favourite one is Macmillan English dictionary. www.macmillandictionaries.com It includes both paperback and CD-ROM editions. As for me, it is really convenient. When I don’t have a lot of time on doing my homework or I’m very tired, I use its CD-ROM edition because its usage isn’t time-consuming. Of course, it has all the features of every dictionary (pronunciation, explanation, examples of the word’s usage). However, this dictionary is overfilled with a lot of different information. It mentions a list of words which are frequently used together. Also it has a lot of metaphors, idioms and etc with their explanations.
In my opinion Macmillan English dictionary has only advantages in its usage.

It'd be great if you added a sample entry from this dictionary, which can illustrate some of this dictionary's less known but still very useful features. Are there such? Also, can you describe in more detail how you actually use it?
