The Macmillan English Dictionary also exists as an electronic dictionary, available free on the
Web. Like most online dictionaries, it benefits from being able to update content regularly
with new words and meanings. In addition to the dictionary, the online version has a thesaurus
function enabling users to find synonyms for any word, phrase or meaning.
There is also a blog (the Macmillan Dictionary Blog) with daily postings on language issues,
especially on global English and language change. An "Open Dictionary" allows users to
provide their own dictionary entries for new words they have come across. The online edition
has been recognised as a good example of this emerging genre of reference publishing.
