On-Line Dictionaries
CleverCat:
I'm hooked on the ninjaword FARR plugin! :Thmbsup:

I like using ObjectGraph Dictionary http://www.objectgraph.com/dictionary/as a panel in Opera, particularly when I'm doing something that requires frequent searches. It's not as comprehensive as other dictionaries, but the search as you type feature is really cool and using it as a panel means you can view definitions and your work simultaneously.

Sorry folks, my images won't attach properly.
Second Shadow:
Am I the only one who uses The Free Dictionary?
It's really good. I particularly like the included pronunciation (English not being my native language, that's a life saver), thesaurus and related words.
Plus, they have a handy browser add-on (for both IE and Firefox): http://www.thefreedictionary.com/add2ie.htm
P.S.: they also have an idioms section, as well as specialized dictionaries (Medical, Legal, Financial), a decent encyclopedia, and a section that shows articles from Wikipedia embedded in their website, like this entry for Donation Coder :)

I like their little games for example "match up". It's a fun way to expand knowlede.
I wish there was something like this for German as well.
