Oxford advanced learner's dictionary vs dictionary.com
Hello,
I have always been using Oxford advanced learner's dictionary and Dictionary. com but I noticed that some definitions in Oxford advanced learner's dictionary are too short and maybe incomplete. Dictionary.com seems to be more detailed.
Maybe I am wrong? Could you please look at these definitions (the first one is from Oxford dictionary and the second is from dictionary.com. ) and tell me which one is better? It's the word meretricious
1.Seeming attractive, but in fact having no real value.
1.
alluring by a show of flashy or vulgar attractions; tawdry.
2.
based on pretense, deception, or insincerity.
3.
pertaining to or characteristic of a prostitute.
Thanks
