Bob's Dictionary of Big Words (BDBW) is a new concept in dictionaries. Rather than carrying around bulky dictionaries that often contain pages of definitions for simple words that everyone already knows, BDBW uses only bigger words that most people either don't know or have heard many times but don't remember the definition. BDBW limits its words to 6000 on an easy to manage 6 x 9 frame. It uses only the most practical and interesting words that will impress not only yourself but those to whom you communicate. BDBW gives the Latin, Greek or other derivation of the word for easier memorization of the definition. Accents are made with an underline on the correct syllable. Students and professionals will find BDBW very useful, but it is designed for anyone who wants to rise to the next level of English communication and conversation. There is nothing like it on the market.
