   Check again.  Webster came up with a style of dictionary, and just
   about all publishers use it.

   On the cover page of the dictionary you can find out who actually
   published it.  They may not actually be Merriam Webster.  And they 
   are responsible for the content.

   Sometimes the publisher will include a discussion of what
   self-proclaimed experts wrote the content.  Sometimes they just hack
   something togther that they can sell, and the content is amaizingly
   poor.

   And even M-W is wrong sometimes.
