The Random House College Dictionary
This was a perfectly serviceable collegiate dictionary that was my desk reference for decades--which is the problem. The copyright of the revised edition of the Random House College Dictionary is 1984. You won't even find the word "internet" here, let alone such words in my shiny new Meriam-Webster (11th Edition) as: microblogging, smartphone, social media and tweet. So, with the new year, out with the old, in with the new!
