Oh. Ee. Dee.

Hey writers!

Today we're back to Rani's endorsements, with one that may cost you money (unless you're a student).

Oxford English Dictionary

I'm not talking about the books though. I'm talking about the online subscription. 

I'm positive that you're wondering why in the world I would endorse something like this, and so I'm going to give you four good reasons:

• OED is the most comprehensive English dictionary on the planet
• Your subscription includes advanced access to etymologies and archaic words
• You'll have the ability to cross-reference your words to make sure you're using the right one (hint: you're not, almost a quarter of the time)
• Your friends will be impressed that you even know what it is, much less subscribe

Yeah, it's expensive. Yeah, you could just use google.

But google isn't going to tell you whether or not you're using the right words. You'll be bogged with literally thousands of opinions on every single subject out there.

When you have the OED, that doesn't even become a factor.

Bonus for you students, a subscription is usually free through your school while you're enrolled.
