What a shockingly useless website!!! I was using it to check my spelling of ‘sommelier’ and was flabbergasted to be told by your less than useful website that there was no such entry and that I should check my spelling. The nerve!!! I shan’t be using your site again and may I close by adding, this is not the first disappointing omission. To create a list would be pointless. Why should I help, when your site is so lamentably lacking. So I shall say good bye rather, than au revoir!
We’re sorry that you did not find the words that you were looking for. Our dictionaries are aimed primarily at learners of English rather than native speakers and so we do not generally cover high-level or specialised vocabulary. That said, I think ‘sommelier’ is an omission and we will look to include this in a future update – we are always adding to the dictionaries. If you wanted to provide a list of any other words that you could not find in our dictionaries, that would be greatly appreciated.
I truly want to study all the lessons in this website.How can I learn daily?
