Data contained in the PW-E550
The dictionary data contained in this unit are based on the following dictionaries:
• New Oxford American Dictionary © Oxford University Press 2001
• The Oxford American Thesaurus of Current English © Oxford University Press
1999
• Garner's Modern American Usage © Bryan A. Garner 2003
* All rights reserved. No part of this publication may be reproduced, stored in a
retrieval system, or transmitted, in any form or by any means, without the prior
permission in writing of Oxford University Press, or as expressly permitted by
law, or under terms agreed with the appropriate reprographics rights organiza-
tion. Enquiries concerning reproduction outside the scope of the above should
be sent to the Rights Department, Oxford University Press.
* The data includes some words that are, or are asserted to be, proprietary names
or trademarks. Their inclusion does not imply that they have acquired for legal
purposes a nonproprietary or general significance, nor is any other judgment
implied concerning their legal status. In cases where the editor has some
evidence that a word is used as a proprietary name or trademark, this is
indicated by the designation ‘trademark’, but no judgment concerning the legal
status of such words is made or implied thereby.
• The data content of each Dictionary is mostly retained faithful to the original.
However, some sections of the dictionary contents have had to be altered due to
the limitations of the LCD display and for other reasons; these modifications have
been implemented under the provisions of the publisher(s). In some rare cases,
misspellings and/or mistypings may be found; these are ‘errors’ that have been
retained unmodified from the source Dictionaries.
