| Nov 7, 2011 at 21:32 | comment | added | Robert S. | I think "just" is heavily overused. Maybe I'm sensitive to it because I hear "just two?" at restaurants all the time. | |

I just went to the Cambridge Dictionaries Online website (to try to verify your statement) and look what I saw there: "We have just added an English–Spanish/Spanish–English bilingual dictionary to Cambridge Dictionaries Online!" | |
