AKMA’s Random Thoughts

One of the Things the Web Is Great For

I like online dictionaries, since much of the information I seek in a dictionary appears only in the heaviest, bulkiest, least portable and convenient sources. I’d long relied on Dictionary.com, but if you have the bandwidth, Webster’s Online tops everything else I’ve seen.

Of course, if you just want the correct spelling or a simple definition, there’s no need to call up all the overhead from Webster’s. Webster’s is for browsing and reveling more than elegant simplicity (though there must be a way of making the output from Webster’s more elegant, without aggravating its bandwidth load).
