[Jack Jackson · Rating 1 out of 5]

I thought that this informative textbook wouldn't have any vulgar language. Once i opened this dictionary, the first word i saw was the F bomb. How innapropriate! kids could be studying out of this book and run across these vulgar words. You should not be selling this misinformative text to children teching them terrible words that will only make them "Thugs".

This trusty amigo got me through three years of high-school Spanish and a five-year trek toward a B.A. in Spanish. Es muy duro.
