Millennium Edition.
Brewer's winning blend of language and general knowledge has been seducing new readers for over a century-and-a-quarter. At the heart of the dictionary lie entries on the meaning and origin of a vast range of words and expressions, from everyday English phrases to Latin tags. For the Millennium Edition, the entire existing text has been revised and updated and over 1000 new articles added. These include:
- recent expressions ("the full monty", "do one's head in", "hit the ground running")
- recent events and organisations ("Black Wednesday", "Taliban")
- famous nicknames ("Fab Four")
- historical and fictional characters ("Attila the Hun", "Anne Frank").
