Have you ever met someone who's actually paid for a dictionary in the last several decades? I don't think there's a global conspiracy trying to sell them to people lol, you can access most for free fairly easily.

I don't know of any dictionaries that try to teach you the King's correct English. But people still point to them as if they do.
