"Curious word omission - ``omnist`` which is easily found in Merriam-Webster`s is not in the Oxford Shorter English Dictionary, with almost twice as many words, allegedly including all new words since 1700. Omnist was introduced by Philip James Bailey, 19th century English poet, in the once very popular long poem ``Festus,`` where he says: ``I am an omnist. I believe in all religions.`` It appears in the 20-volume version. How is it missing here?"

"Bought the previous version and LOVE IT. Now unavailable, but this same content available in a different (unregistered) app. Asking MobiSystems if I can register this version. Wonder if they`re related to MobiPocket. I bought roughly $80 of Oxford dictionaries for a Windows PocketPC long ago, and loved the ability to add your own definitions. Miss that feature terribly."

"I was very happy with Oxford before. But not now. I mean for free it`s just a form of online dictionary. It`s not that Oxford app I had before. And offline version costs some money. I don`t see a reason to install that. Don`t waste time there are another offline dictionaries."
