Collins Dictionaries is the CyberSkeptic's Guide to Internet Research CyberSelection for October 2013.
The Collins dictionaries, in various editions, seem to be the most popular paperback carry-along among my colleagues in Spanish language classes. A year ago, I bought Collins Spanish Idioms, a paperback of barely 200 pages, and started reading meaningful and literal translations of common idiomatic expressions. Only recently did I read the fine print in my book of idioms and discover that Collins operates a free site with lots of resources for language learning and reference (www.collinslanguage.com/easyresources). And it was only after I explored that page a couple times that I discovered Collins Dictionaries (www.collinsdictionary.com) with its tagline "Always Free Online."
The full text of the October CyberSelection will be available in January 2014.
