Welcome to the 45th edition of MED Magazine, the free webzine of the Macmillan Dictionaries resource site.

In this summer edition we celebrate the publication of the Second Edition of the award-winning Macmillan English Dictionary by offering readers exclusive MED2 content.

In the feature article you can read an introduction to the new edition of the dictionary, written by Editor-in-Chief Michael Rundell.

You can find out more about lexicography and the future of dictionaries in an interview with Michael Rundell in the MED Profile series.

In the final part of the British and American culture column you can learn some useful vocabulary used in email and text messages.

A few more interesting queries sent in by readers are addressed in the Your questions answered column.

In the new word of the month series you can read about neologisms from the area of money and finance.

You can browse the contents of earlier editions in two helpful ways: either by visiting the Back issues page or by looking at the lists provided in the Index.
