I'm an advocate of Dictionary.com and Rhymezone :-)

So they sold out? That's why there is a new layout? I see people have already listed M-w.com. I only use that because its built in to Mozilla.

For spell checking, I usually use Microsoft Word :-D But If I decide to go a little wild I believe there is a www.spellcheck.net. That might not be the right URL, I'll have to check.

Another handy site I use is http://javascriptkit.com/script/script2 ... ords.shtml But only to compare my word count (What I get from the stander equation I use to get word count) To theirs, to see if mine is close.

I hope this helped. Out of curiousity, what exactly about Dictionary.com is bothering you?

Buy a dictionary, and buy a thesaurus.

Of course, she was talking about vocabulary...

I always knew that deep down in every human heart, there is mercy and generosity. No one is born hating another person because of the color of his skin, or his background, or his religion. People must learn to hate, and if they can learn to hate, they can be taught to love, for love comes more naturally to the human heart than its opposite.
