Sixteen of twenty people on your Christmas (or “holiday”) list need a Merriam-Webster Collegiate Dictionary. I used to recommend that students acquire and use a collegiate dictionary. Now I say college-level . Can you guess why?

Presumably the gift would be wasted on Uncle George the drunk, who is usually incoherent during the holidays and would be much happier with a bottle of Early Times.
I won the seventh in a 6th grade spelling bee. Made my school life easier.
I guess Merriam-Webster wasn’t accounting for such relatives. Maybe no presents for them.
I flunked out in the first round of my one and only spelling bee. Diane, I’m impressed.
