If you're online, I like www.dictionary.com. It has a thesaurus function, too. Very helpful.

You're a non-native speaker, right?
The dictionary that you might find most helpful depends a lot on you. However, I like to recommend the Harper-Collins Beginner's ESL Dictionary to my students. In spite of the name, I feel this dictionary can be helpful to English learners of many levels.

After Shakespear's dramas, English language has been added with several other words derived from other languages including Indian languages, which does not have unique word in English. Oxford Dictionery has been updating these from time to time. Websster or other various dictioneries are not competent in this regard and to my knowledge, Oxford Dictionary is more reliable, especially for college and school students.

Use a thesaurus.
I have Oxford American Dictionarys as a widget on my computer. It's a dictionary and thesaurus.

OXFORD in my opinion
highly reputed BRITTANICA ENCYCLOPAEDIA prefers it there must be some reason for it. as far as i know you might not find slang in OXFORD for that you will have to buy a slang dictionary,again that's my personal opinion and i am not an expert.
