« on: February 14, 2011, 09:50 PM »
TheSage is the only dictionary on my computer.

Is there another worthy dictionary to download?

Living Room / Re: Are "you" "your friend"?

If you wanted to search specific dictionaries then you may be able to cobble something together with a macro to open new tab, then use site:merriam-webster.com word or site:thefreedictionary.com sesquipedalian

The dictionaries I am talking about are software ones, not on-line. As regards the on-line ones I don't need anything better than OneLook.
