While covering enough ground, the definitions used in this dictionary feel too rigid and academical. Many terms are defined without sympathy for the reader. There is almost zero actual language used as it is in the field likely in the attempt for the material to be understandable to non-experts. In the attempt to be both precise and informative something is missing.
