In grad school I lived with two Ph.D. Students in English. We had a few dictionaries in the household, but we referred to the American Heritage simply as The Wonderful Dictionary. The page layout and the pictures were nice, but it was the work itself that earned the sobriquet. Definitions are refreshingly clear and finely-drawn. Distinctions among variants come across crisply. The small paragraphs on usage are downright fun to read. And ah! the paragraphs on regionalisms! Wheee! (Yes, I’m a long-standing word nerd, and if that designation applies to you at all, you *need* this dictionary). And perhaps most crucial is the appendix of (proto-) Indo-European Roots. We who love dictionaries - especially print editions - delight in wandering through them; we ricochet along, our eyes caught by alluring words as we look up something else, catching a synonym that leads us into a random association. This Appendix turbocharges that experience. When we see those nonsensical bold-face syllables at the end of a definition, we know The Wonderful Dictionary will take us to a hidden origin that has seeded words - sometimes dozens of them - across time and space, opening linguistic relationships that we never imagined. The American Heritage Dictionary glitters and sparks. It lets us hold the language in our hands like a gem, flashing with a sense of almost spatial dimensionality. It continues to provide the most learning and the most fun I’ve ever had with a dictionary.

HOW SURE ARE WE
Not in any grossing chart, so this comes from ratings growth (1.1 new ratings a month on average since launch): revenue grows with new ratings, more slowly for apps that collect ratings fast. Tested on 418 apps with verified revenue: typically off by about 2 times, and big earners tend to come out low. Countries we don't track (and Google Play in China, which doesn't exist) aren't included, and neither are ads or web payments. Gross revenue before store fees.
