# It is always out of date.

# There are regional and cultural differences in pronunciation. # Unless it is a fully comprehensive dictionary, some words and definitions will have been omitted. # They often fail to explain the subtle usage differences between words of similar meaning. # You need to know how to spell the word before you can look it up to see how to spell it. Of course, these 'disadvantages' pale into insignificance when compared with the tremendous advantages of dictionaries.
