I Love This!

In the discussion under a recent post, a commenter named Scott Peterson pointed me to The Free Dictionary.com. Jason Peterson later let me know to be sure to include "the" in the URL. Thanks, guys. As a result, I visited for the first time this wonderful website, www.thefreedictionary.com. Check it out!

There's a great feature called Match Up, where you match five words with their synonyms, and then you find out how well you did. My first try I got five out of five. Oh, maybe that has something to do with why I love the website so much.

Wordsmith.org is another fun word site. I am especially fond of their anagram feature.

Nice site, thanks for the link! When not being a native English speaker these kind of resources are especially useful.

Fabulous site. If you want to improve your vocabulary and learn lots of important facts, this is for you. A must for fledgling writers and speakers like me!

Tom -

Thanks for the post, it looks like it will be quite useful. I have also enjoyed www.answers.com to get an aggregate response of encyclopedia & wikipedia information about a subset of well-known topics. Several years ago I enjoyed reading the project 50 and the brand you at my first office job and I found it tremendously helpful. Thank you for your great work.
