Synonyms of "Dictionary" and their differences

A:
"Respects" is more of a feeling towards something, example being: "This dictionary deserves my respect!"
This dictionary is one that I view as good / high quality in this situation.
It doesn't sound natural to say "respects." (I don't think anyone says that in this kind of situation)
However,
"Aspects" means parts or features. To say that "This dictionary is better than others in many aspects." Means this dictionary is better than the other ones in many ways.
Hope this helps! (╹◡╹)

Q:
Bunu İngilizce (ABD) da nasıl dersiniz? In my dictionary (that's pretty famous in Japan), it says "go to see the movies" is wrong somehow.
Why "go to see the movies" is wrong?
Why "go to see the movies" is wrong?
A:
You can say :
Go to the movies OR
Go to see a movie
But we don’t say “Go to see the movies” without further context.
I suppose it’s wrong because logically, we don’t know what movies the definite article “the” is referring to.
Note that in the expression “go to the movies”, what we are really saying is that we are going to a movie theater. It is a set expression and it does not mean that we are going to see multiple movies.

Q:
I found in the dictionary that 'fence' as a verb has the meaning of 'receiving stolen goods', what does it mean? Like buying stolen goods from a burglar?
A:
yes. it's slang. "he stole watches and fenced them on the street."
according to Wikipedia: A fence (noun) is an individual who knowingly buys stolen property for later resale, sometimes in a legitimate market. The fence thus acts as a middleman between thieves and the eventual buyers of stolen goods who may not be aware that the goods are stolen.
As a verb, the word describes the behaviour of the thief in the transaction: "The burglar fenced the stolen radio."
This sense of the term came from thieves' slang, first attested c. 1700, from the notion of such transactions taking place under defence of secrecy.
-------------
so i guess fence (noun) is slang short for deFENCE of secercy.
a fence (noun) doesn't ask questions about where you got something or how you got it. either he wants to make a deal or not.
in my experience, this use of the word is rare. the places i've heard was almost always in detective dramas and some scenes involving people talking about the sale of stolen goods.

Q:
When I need refer to an English dictionary, I'm often using Oxford Dictionaries( http://www.oxforddictionaries.com/ ) and Cambridge Dictionaries Online( http://dictionary.cambridge.org/ ). I use them mainly in order to distinguish synonyms. But sometimes their illustrative sentences are too abstract and incomprehensive for me. I know I still don't understand some concepts in English which are unfamiliar in Japanese, but at the same time, I suspect that those sites have only insufficient contents for their free usage on the Internet. Is the quality of those sites' contents good for English learners like me?
A:
It's a great resource! If you want to look more into synonyms/antonyms check out thesaurus.com. I use it all the time.
