It covers such vastly diverse topics as computer jargon, earthquake data, English grammar and usage, international conversions, medical terminology, wedding anniversaries and postal coding. New addenda to this edition include euphemisms, British and Irish county abbreviations, dysphemistic place names, international vehicle license letters, prisons of the world and their toponyms, and much else.
