THE USAGE A dictionary as comprehensive as MED contains many more words than any language learner can hope to learn, and even the number of words that a serious learner comes in contact with is more than they can learn. They must, therefore, prioratize, i. MED helps the learner greatly in doing this by marking headwords for frequency of use by fluent speakers.

The 7, most frequently used headwords appear in red and are followed by one, two, or three red stars to designate frequency of use more stars designate higher frequency. MED is besprinkled on almost every page with numerous other red, actually pink, boxes that make information easy to access. It contains synonym boxes that contain synonyms of the headword, explanations of how they differ from the headword, and example sentences.

Kent, and, therefore, cannot be ignored. It is equal or superior to all three of its rivals in the use of illustrations, its color sections, and its language study section.
