Oxford English Mini Dictionary

Product Information

In addition to specific nursing terms, there are many entries in the fields of medicine, anatomy, physiology, psychiatry, nutrition, and pharmacology (including new drugs recently introduced into medical practice). Definitions are considered common knowledge—even if the words are uncommon—so no citations are necessary. Using this dictionary, you will be able to learn the five most popular languages: English, French, German, Spanish, and Italian. As an alternative to this indexing, for a single page with links to every dance, see AllCribsPagesSiteMap.

In either event, in a class or if the dance is to be used in a demonstration, the words can provide the basis of a light-hearted interlude between dances. In addition, it will correct your spelling, help with pronunciation and provide references to biographies.

Our own, far fewer, MaxiCribs, are a typical compiler's accumulated database, started in digital form some 30 years ago and updated as required. Over many years, Keith Rose has been quietly creating Pilling-style diagrams in machine-readable form, now covering over 5000 dances; he also provides new and updated diagrams as these become available. Some devisers have supplied their original dance instructions direct to us; where there is also a MiniCrib for that dance, these instructions appear on the same page. Written by medical and nursing specialists, it provides concise entries on the theory and practice of nursing, and comprehensive coverage of the ever-expanding vocabulary of the nursing professions. Note that the italics used throughout the rest of this site (to denote pages of the same name) are not used on the dance instruction pages.

Furthermore, because glossaries include only the words that appear in a work, readers can look them up faster than in a dictionary, which has an entire language’s worth of words.

n x m, where n and m are numbers, means that the music for the dance consists of n Repeats, each of length m bars. For Gaelic names, a translation and a guide to pronunciation is provided wherever possible; general detail on pronunciation is supplied in Gaelic Dance Names. The device contains 400,000 word definitions and half a million synonyms and antonyms as well as a grammar guide and a selection of frequently confused words. The best dictionary apps for iPhone and iPad to help you learn new words, expand your vocabulary, and enhance your writing!

Likewise, if you’re using a specific or controversial definition from a certain glossary that’s different from other definitions, you need to cite your source. Our original pioneering values remain at the core of our current publishing programme, both in print and in digital form. When these difficult words are defined in a glossary at the end of a work, readers can look up the definitions quickly without consulting a dictionary. These will be equally applicable to MiniCrib except in the few cases where MaxiCrib differs from MiniCrib; for example, bars 27-32 of The Wind on Loch Fyne and those dances with the original format, 3Couple repeat in a 4Couple set for which a version suitable for a 3Couple set is sometimes provided. We have actually reduced the number of ads per our users requests and we can discuss other options or future improvements.MiniCrib uses the terms Third corner and Fourth corner whereas MaxiCrib uses Partner's first corner and Partner's second corner.
