Reference
The Shorter Oxford Dictionary has more examples of how words are used than smaller editions, and isn’t as cumbersome as the OED. It has useful information on the origins of words. Fowler’s is about on good and bad usage, and of course a Thesaurus helps when you can’t find exactly the word you want.
