Under its previous title, Webster's New World Dictionary of American English , Third College Edition, this modern dictionary of American English is cited in Walford and exuberantly lauded in ARBA 1989 . Nevertheless, we are mightily offended by the spurious dust-jacket copy which identifies this edition as "Revised and Updated," when, in fact, the last revision was in 1988.
