Is this the Concise Oxford Dictionary you are talking about?
I have found it useful.
I don't know what an "off-color" word is, or "target" for that
matter.
I also don't know if there is a good way to tell how many words
are really in there.
Regards,
Steve.

Subject: [Braillenote] dictionary
When I received the upgrade to the empower, I received the
dictionary free. I'm glad it was free. Had I paid the $195 for
this thing, I would have been extremely dissapointed. I'm not
sure how many words are in there. I suspect it is around five to
ten thousand. It has proven to be mostly pointless for our
college courses. However, if I wish to know the dictionary def
of a off-color word, I can find it. However, should I be playing
"Target", looking for a word in my field of study or interest, or
most of my other endeavors, (be they fun or professional), I'm as
likely not to find it as I am to find it.
When I heard there was going to be a dictionary and thesaurus
available, I was extremely happy. I have always wnated an
accessable couple of these volumes. And when it was offered free
with the upgrade, I was highly anticipatory. However, life has
proven these expectation to be highly overly expanctant and
extremely presumptious. Many times the dictionary has proven to
almost superfluous. The dictionary is a fantastic idea. It just
needs to be one that has many more words in it. HOpefully, the
next choice wil be a better one.
