This eagerness to change

Are you an unfortunate Mac user or something?

EDIT: Yes you are, found it in the "Computer stuff" thread...

Hmm, here's a question pertaining to learning French.

There's a dictionary called the "Oxford English Dictionary," which is widely considered the most complete, most authoritative, most important dictionary for the English language. All other English dictionaries are inferior when compared to the unabridged OED.

Is there an equivalent dictionary for French? A dictionary considered to be the ultimate authority on French language?

I love reference books, and would be delighted to pick up a high powered true French dictionary - not just a French-English one.

Hiby also probably doesn't like .exe files because of how many viruses come packaged that way, but Darwine is supposed to allow .exe and other native Windows files to open on a Mac, at least certain ones anyway. But I have never used it so no idea if it works, but there are other .exe wrappers as well to let Mac users run them, but again I haven't used any and some only work with intel based Macs.

The easiest to get would no doubt be one by Larousse, but I find the Petit Robert slightly more useful as it contains phonetic spellings for all the words, petit Larousse only contains them for the words that do not follow traditional French pronunciation rules. The petit Robert has also slightly more detailed definitions of each word, but the petit Larousse is packed with tons of colourful illustrations. There is also the Grand Robert, which is an insanely huge French dictionary, similar to the complete unabridged multi volume Oxford dictionaries.
LeRobert
Larousse
I assume since you are looking for a French only dictionary you can navigate these sites.
But Le Petit Robert, and Le Petit Larousse illustré are their most popular dictionaries. Petit Larousse illustré also includes a section with proper names and information on history and culture as well. Le Robert publishes theirs in a separate dictionary.
If not here are two English articles about the major French dictionaries http://french.about.com/library/revi...ngualdicos.htm
and if you prefer electronic dictionaries http://french.about.com/od/vocabular...twaredicos.htm
For the record I have a petit Larousse illustré I bought back when I was 10, and am planning on buying a Petit Robert (which costs well over twice that of the Larousse), for the more detailed and useful descriptions, at the expense of the illustrations and mini encyclopedia included in the Larousse. The new Larousses, especially after the 2005 centenary edition, are so colourful I was almost tempted to buy a new one.
But aFrenchie has access to more French dictionaries than we do in Canada, and can probably give you a more informed decision about what is out there.

Of course, I can certify that this one has no virus.
