Differences between online and print dictionaries
Online dictionaries can differ from print versions in terms of timing, content, and updates. Some companies release online updates first followed by identical print versions, while others release simultaneous updates. Some dictionaries have more information online than in print, like the American Heritage Dictionary. Webster's New World has almost identical online and print versions, whereas Merriam-Webster Collegiate Dictionary has more extensive updates online compared to print.
