Merriam Webster is my least trusted dictionary. Meanings and words I’ve looked up in the past have been either inaccurate or biased to a North American understanding. I use English English, and prefer Cambridge and (secondary due to online paywall) Oxford (UK ver.).

You don’t like Merriam-webster because the american dictionary company caters to American English?
It doesn’t always clarify it is American English, and implies to non-English speakers that it is the standard form, when it is a variation. This, along with American English teachers around the world teaching their form, misrepresents English itself.
