Features: The English-Chinese dictionary is named ACME, meaning "the state of perfection." Most words in this dictionary are listed with etymologies to clarify how they evolved from other foreign languages outside of English. The dictionary also includes cognates to aid in learning other languages and to foster an interest in comparing Indo-European languages. The majority of definitions and short words are illustrated with example sentences, which are all in modern American spoken English. The content often reflects concrete phenomena or current affairs in daily life, helping to integrate English into daily life and improve English writing skills.
