Unialphabet

I have created a Unialphabet system of classification for bilingual wordbooks, which blends both language together (in my case English and Spanish) into one single body of facts rather than employing the traditional two-part method. I believe this has several advantages over the old system: The user can go straight to the word, not minding whether he is in the English or the Spanish part, making it easier to check words or expressions in either language. This can be seen in my A Spanish and English Dictionary of Idioms and in my The New Dictionary of Current Sayings and proverbs, Spanish and English, both published by Ediciones del Serbal, Barcelona.
