Heck, what is the best dictionary is a debate from beyond our times, not even considering the attributes 'affordable' and 'electronic'. I cherish my two copies of W7NCD 1971, one held together with a string. My micro-OED is too big to be 'best'.

A good test might be to look-up the word "proactive" and, if found, REJECT that dictionary as inevitably corrupt for political correctness.
