Online Dictionaries
If you are new to this series, the first post is New Year’s Resolution: Learn to Write: Part 1, followed by Learn to Write: Part 2: Helpful Writing Books, then Learn to Write: Part 3: Online Writing Guidelines.
Below you find more online dictionaries then most anyone could use in a week. Some serious, some fun, some with multi offerings. All should be useful for the curious. At the bottom of the list is a ‘Word of the Day’ section. I’ve signed up for two which fill my inbox with words I know (but could use more often, like hullabaloo) and some I don’t (like borborygmic). The list ends with the ‘Grammar Girl’ podcasts, with her updates getting sucked into my feeder (bloglines).
