When cosmetics don’t satisfy someone’s desire to improve his appearance, he will often turn to surgical procedures.

"Someone's" is singular, so I need to make the following pronouns singular, correct? It just sounds funny. Is there possibly a better way to rewrite the sentence, or does it sound okay as it is? Thanks!

And has anyone read the book Tilting at Windmills by Julian Branston? If so, why does Denia spread the rumour that Cervantes is being considered for the court poet after the emperor dies?

Hi,
English is my second language.I am now in North America and would stay here for long. So far, I have been using
"Oxford Advanced Learner's Dictionary". I found this dictionary quite good. I just realized that the pronounciation keys and usage etc in this dictionary would be Britain-based, whereas what I need is some American-based dictionary.

Would sbdy pl suggest some popular American-based dictionary...

Thanks
