It contains: spellings of all irregular or confusing words are given in full; notes on current language are given for problem words; over 200 specialist subjects, such as science and computing, are fully covered; examples of real English are given on the same page for one-stop lookup; most helpful synonyms for each word are given first and highlighted; antonym lists are given for many key words.

Entries and synonyms on the same page for quick reference
The feature I like most is the presence of the entries and their synonyms on the same page, which let you quickly find what you are looking for, without wasting time. You have the upper half of the page with the entries and the bottom part of the page with the synonyms.
A quite big dictionary every family should have.
