Macmillan Education Ltd has shut down the Macmillan English Dictionary, Macmillan English Thesaurus and Macmillan Dictionary Blog websites after 14 years since its digital debut in 2009.
The Macmillan English Dictionary (MEDO) has served as an indispensable tool for language learners, writers and researchers, offering comprehensive definitions, thesaurus entries and language insights.
“After careful consideration Macmillan Education has concluded that it is no longer sustainable to keep the Macmillan English Dictionary and Thesaurus up-to-date and reflective of our values of accessibility, diversity and inclusion,” an official statement said.
