The first Modern American dictionary to cover the Bible and contemporary language
A Pocket PC PDA dictionary program, featuring the Webster's American Family Dictionary. The aim of the Webster's American Family Dictionary is unique and challenging: it is to capture and record the standard vocabulary of American English in a way that reflects the common ethical, moral, religious, social, and civic values of mainstream Americans. It is, in short, both a lexical and cultural record of standard American English at the dawn of the 21st century.
A family reference that goes beyond removing offensive language, Webster's American Family Dictionary reflects the language and cultural values of most American families. While remaining inclusive enough for use through the college level, this new dictionary also covers special categories that are not typically treated in other standard dictionaries, such as the Bible, religious notables, cultural literacy, American history and civics, American folklore, popular proverbs and sayings.
"The new Webster's American Family Dictionary should be very helpful for anyone interested in the full meaning of words, expanded to include their historical, literary, and religious connotations."
Jimmy Carter
"I think Noah Webster would have been proud to see his name affiliated with this dictionary, which is in keeping with his original concept of what a dictionary should be."
"I applaud this . . . value-centered, family-oriented dictionary."
The Reverend Billy Graham
