Dictionary.com

Dictionary.com

http://dictionary.reference.com/

Dictionary.com is a multi-source dictionary search service produced by Lexico Publishing Group, LLC, a leading provider of language reference products and services on the Internet.

To use the dictionary, simply type a word in the blue search box that appears at the top of every page and then click the 'Search' button.

This will perform a search for the word in the several dictionaries hosted on the site. If you don't know how to spell the word, just guess. You will get a list of suggestions if you are wrong.

Note that Dictionary.com does not produce all the dictionaries that appear on their Web site; but simply make them available.

In that respect Dictionary.com is more like a bookstore or library than a publisher. The source of each entry is given immediately after the entry in question; follow the source link for information about the dictionary, including publisher contact information.

Dictionary.com includes biblical names, chemical elements, computer terms, international statistics, and zip codes as well as the correct spelling and definition of English words -- all in one search function.
