I've got The New Collins Concise English Dictionary which "takes pains to ensure that no reader will retire baffled in his attempt to find an item..." and where, "the user is helped by [the dictionary editors'] sensible practice of placing the common modern meanings of a word first in the entry..." and I've had said dictionary since 1986/87. So, it's a friend. But, it's an old friend and I'm sometimes a little lapse in connecting.

Reminds me so much of my dictionary which I have with me since school time. Traveled everywhere with me ... :)
