Okay, I would really recommend it to a college, or high school, or school student. You can even use it in university."

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. Glossary example A glossary in a book (or paper or other written material) is a special section that provides definitions for complicated words. It is formatted like a dictionary, with the keywords organized alphabetically and their definitions written in plain language. Glossaries and indexes are sometimes mixed up because they both come at the end of a work and are organized alphabetically by keyword. Despite their similarities, though, glossaries and indexes serve two different purposes.Crib titles containing names beginning with Mac and Mc are indexed strictly alphabetically; if you cannot find a dance under one of these spellings, try the other. As usual, it has been extensively trialled with schools, so you can be sure it is still the best dictionary for your children, in a portable mini format. Further help with writing skills is available in the updated new edition of the companion Oxford School Thesaurus. When Dancers perform the same Figure in different parts of The set, for example, 1st and 3rdCouples in many 5Couple set dances, MiniCrib uses the form 1s and 3s to indicate this whereas MaxiCrib uses 1s3s; We try to give enough detail in MaxiCribs so that the average dancer who has not previously met the dance can readily understand it and perform it at a Ball. We have also added Dance Notes to some dances where a more detailed explanation might be helpful to the dancer or teacher. 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.

Offline and fast mode – access the wealth of the word database anywhere, anytime - no Internet connection is required means 1stCouple (but note that some compilers use 1C instead while some others use 1C to represent First corners); and Word processors and the Worldwide Web have made the production of Dance cribs much more straightforward. In his MiniCrib, Charles Upton (and now his successors) provide descriptions with a consistent format for over 6000 dances which are eminently suitable as an aide-mémoire for a dancer at a more formal event. Rarely does one encounter a dance that is not included; until his well-earned retirement in December 2013, he welcomed details for inclusion in his regular update of the complete database as now do his successors.

MiniCrib uses the terms Third corner and Fourth corner whereas MaxiCrib uses Partner's first corner and Partner's second corner. A glossary is a section at the end of a written work that defines confusing, technical, or advanced words. You can think of glossaries as a mini-dictionary for words used in that work. Glossaries are commonly used in research papers and academic books to explain certain words readers wouldn’t understand. What does a glossary do?
