	The American Heritage Dictionary of the English Language - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The American Heritage Dictionary of the English Language (AHD) is an American dictionary of the English language published by Boston publisher Houghton-Mifflin, the first edition of which appeared in 1969.
		James Parton, the owner of the history magazine American Heritage, was appalled by the "permissiveness" of Webster's Third, published in 1961, and tried to buy the G.
		The AHD is larger than the desk dictionaries of the time but smaller than Webster's Third New International Dictionary or The Random-House Dictionary of the English Language.

	Regional Patterns of American Speech. The American Heritage Dictionary of the English Language, Fourth Edition. 2000 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-23)
		As creolization reflects the blending of languages and cultures, so slang, argot, and social dialects mark the activities of subcultures within communities, and these basic forms of English have steadily modified native speech.
		Since a healthy language is always changing, the age and experience of its speakers are recorded by incipient, dominant, and recessive forms, as demonstrated in the vocabulary of automobiles: the recent gas-guzzler and SUV, the durable sedan and limousine, and the relics tin lizzie and roadster.
		Education reinforces language trends with the spread of generalized patterns of pronunciation, grammar, and vocabulary, but these are challenged by migrant accents in Chicago today just as they were in London 400 years ago.

	Connolly1/ACES/dictionary review
		The publication of American Heritage's fourth edition in September 2000 merited both grins and grimaces on copy desks across the land.
		Geoffrey Nunberg of Stanford University, a consultant to the dictionary editors, says in an introductory essay that the aim of these usage notes is to provide "the kinds of information that readers will require to resolve questions to their own satisfaction."
		Because it is not journalism's dictionary of choice and is not likely to attain that status as long as The Associated Press endorses Webster’s New World College Dictionary.
