REF: Dictionary Site

[Heidi Rawson-Ketchum <rawsonkehl@CBPU.COM>]

Well group, here is another good tip from Internet Tips from Dummies Daily.
I almost hesitate to post it to the group after what happened with the
Atlapedia but hate not to share.  Maybe the server this one is on can handle
the extra traffic!  With Atlapedia remember it is not only the LM-net
traffic but the Dummies Daily traffic that makes it so busy!

>>OneLook Dictionaries is a site that allows you to "metasearch" as many as
454 online dictionaries to find the definition or spelling of a particular
word. According to the site, more than two million words are accessible
through its search engine. After you enter a word, OneLook provides a
listing of dictionaries defining that word--which can help you find one in
the right context. For example, a search of the word "rascal" provided links
to the Phrase and Fable dictionary, a Shakespearean dictionary, an acronym
finder, and Jane's Defence Index, where you can find that RASCAL is also an
acronym for "Radar di Scoperta e Controllo Aereo Locale," a short-range air
radar used in Italy. Choosing the General option gives you access to
standard sources, such as various versions of Webster's dictionaries, while
choosing the All option goes after the word in all available dictionaries
(which may take a bit longer, of course).
