The American Heritage ® Dictionary of the English Language, Fourth Edition From this side of the pond, the 'American Heritage' Dictionary appears somewhat slanted in it's definition of the term - liberal. - bloody hell- our _street_ has more heritage than America having been laid down by the Romans!!
