Helpful reply Cheri--thanks. I've experimented with the online version of the Canadian Oxford Dictionary (they have a one month free trial) and I do think it's faster. Can't beat the prices. Under $100 one time fee, $5 yearly fee, and up to 1000 people can access.

However, if that's what you choose for your company then that's what the standard is, even if the updates are only visible online. I guess you'd have to be prepared for some surprises, unless there's a way you can subscribe to updates. I know several people who prefer the Gage Canadian but I work with Americans and they're not familiar with it, so it wouldn't suit my company's needs. -Cheri From: Kirby Gilman <kirby.gilman@xxxxxxx> To: mea@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Date: 2013-02-01 02:16 PM Subject: [mea] mea Sent by: mea-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Hi all, I'm helping choose a Canadian dictionary for a company's style guide. I'm thinking the Canadian Oxford Dictionary (online) as it's cheap and I've always used it. Is it still the standard even if it's only updated online? Anything else better out there?
