Webster s Third New International Dictionary of the English Language Unabridged
This book was edited by Philip Babcock Grove. It ws published in Springfield by Merriam-Webster. The 2002 edition is listed in BIP for $129 and $149, with no explanation that I can find for the two prices.
The preface of this book says: This edition shows as far as possible the pronunciations prevailing in general cultivated conversational usage, both informal and formal, throughout the English-speaking world. It does not attempt to dictate what that usage should be.

Thankfully, the Supreme Court correctly rules that this particular use
did not violate the CFAA. While it may have violated the police department s policies, that does not make it exceed authorized access.
Save this story for later.

As a boy growing up in Texas, he lugged Webster’s Third New International Dictionary (Unabridged) to school one day to settle an argument with a teacher. When he was sixteen, he discovered “Fowler’s Modern English Usage” and swallowed it whole. By the time he was an undergraduate, he knew that he wanted to write a usage dictionary. Instead of going into academia or publishing, the traditional career paths for English majors, he went into law, a field where his prodigious language skills could have broad applications. His first usage dictionary was “Modern Legal Usage,” published in 1987. “Garner’s Modern American Usage” came out in 1998 and is in its fourth edition; with a significant tweaking of the title, it’s now “Garner’s Modern
