  A one time fee is fine, that’s perfectly reasonable. But why a subscription? And to a dictionary of all things? I get new words get created and added but I don’t buy a dictionary every year since most words are the same and only a few new ones are added. So again why a subscription, what’s the value of this?

    The value is that they get money. The value for YOU is negligible if existent at all.
