 Its 12th edition, published in 2011, is used by both the United Nations and NATO as the current authority for spellings in documents written in English for international use.
 It is available as an e-book for a variety of handheld device platforms.
 In addition to providing information for general use, it documents local variations such as United States and United Kingdom usage.

 This dictionary is not based on the "Oxford English Dictionary" and should not be mistaken for a new or updated version of the OED.
