Reviews:
The idea was great. I have the paperback version of this book. On the first entry I looked up for a test, I saw an error in the definition. It says that the word "I" comes from Old English i. not ic. This is an error that is only on the ebook, not the paperback version. I was greatly disappointed in this edition.
