I haven't used that particular dictionary, but here's a comparision of the first meanings for "grub" between two
dictionaries I happen to have in my bookshelf: Collins Cobuild English Dictionary for Advanced Learners: "A grub is a young insect which has just come out of an egg and looks like a short fat worm." Oxford Dictionary of English: "the larva of an insect, especially a beetle" Another example, this time "elderly": Collins: "You use elderly as a polite way of saying that someone is old." Oxford: "(of a person) old or ageing" The Dictionary for Advanced Learners also has more usage notes and annotations (e.g. cordial: fifth frequency band, ADJ-GRADED, <> hostile), and the typography is not as busy. 1 person has voted this message useful | |
