Encyclopedia by Farlex

The foundation of success is knowing what your looking for once you find it your own your life that’s strength of your app.

I looked for over a dozen terms (from the Straight of Gibraltar, to fait accompli) picked randomly from my Encyclopedia Brittanica (hard cover), and the results we're not encouraging... It returned a roughly the-way split; no results at all, correct results, and results from an Encyclopedia from the USSR, circa 1979. Admittedly, some of the results differed little from a more current reference, but honestly.... 1979??? From the Union of Soviet Socialists Republic??? Not the source I'm looking to as trustworthy, and, with the march of technology and available tools, the accuracy will simply continue to wither. If I'm looking for an up to date and accurate source for research, I'm sorry, but this isn't it.

I am learning copyediting that sometimes need to fact-check what I read. This encyclopedia becomes handy even when my smartphone isn't connected to the Internet.
