Details: Actually I already have the 16th edition of this title but after reading the description of this edition I thought I should by this edition because I found this sentence "NEW! Spoken North American pronunciations as well as British pronunciations for every word"
However after installing the software there are Spoken North American pronunciations and British pronunciations for the keywords only not for other forms (-s, -es, -ly, -ed, -ing) of these words
