Online Dictionaries
Of course we all need a dictionary. ALL of us. You cannot know the whole ocean of words existing and coming in use (and their peculiar spelling sometimes). You simply can’t.
And while there is a certain romantic feeling about reading a paper book, I doubt that scanning, skimming, searching and looking through the entries in a hard copy dictionary will be ever as time-efficient as the online one.
So, here are
My top 7 of the online dictionaries:
- Collins Online Dictionary: http://www.collinsdictionary.com/
- Cambridge Dictionaries Online: http://dictionary.cambridge.org/
- Oxford Dictionaries Online: http://oxforddictionaries.com/definition/
- Urban Dictionary: http://www.urbandictionary.com/
- Macmillan English Dictionaries: http://www.macmillandictionary.com/
- Thesaurus: http://thesaurus.com/Roget-Alpha-Index.html
- Roget’s Thesaurus: http://machaut.uchicago.edu/rogets
- Books for the little ones: http://my-storybook.weebly.com/

Just English 
Just desire to say your article is as astonishing. The clarity in your post is simply great and
i could assume you’re an expert on this subject.
Well with your permission let me to grab your RSS feed to keep updated with
forthcoming post. Thanks a million and please continue the rewarding work.
a very interesting blog if you would do a lot more like this I would be so grateful this research took a lot of time and thank you for sharing this I will be awaiting future info
I think I’ve found one of my new favorite blogs to follow!
Your ’50 Sophisticated Words You Should Start Using’ article brought me here yesterday, and I came to check out more tonight 🙂
I was about to ask you about your favorite online dictionary, and dictionary app, then I saw the link on the top – (that would have been embarrassing!)
I LOVE the one that I use – I downloaded the free Dictionary.com app, and played with it so much that I decided to buy the Premium version ($2.99). I’ve also gotten three extension packs for it (just fun things, like a Slang extension). Their web page sucks me in, too! The ‘dot com’ has word games, and other fun stuff. I recommend it, if you’re interested.
I can’t wait to go exploring here, so… have a great weekend!!
