  • Most people don’t. There is a theory (and I don’t know if it was ever verified officially) that Adobe stuff was made so easy to pirate and crack intentionally. That way students and people learning how to use their tools (primarily photoshop) would master it and therefore force any employer they later worked with to get and stay with Adobe and their expensive enterprise licences. The lower the barrier of entry the more people in the workforce could be competent with it.





  • As others have said, Oxford, Cambridge, Collins and Chambers are all used in the UK and there are variations of them as well (for example he Oxford English Dictionary is not the same as the Oxford Dictionary of English which is a completely different dictionary published by the same people) but they also all have different styles and rules when it comes to primarily using British or American english spelling.

    If I was recommending a single one I’d say the Oxford Dictionary of English, its cheap and it is the one that served me all the way through school as it was the one we were made to get.
