1. Merriam-Webster's Online Dictionary, 11th Edition (it's the online version of the popular M-W Collegiate)
I agree tsu it's probably the most athoritative based with my experience in the realm, esp with the ink-and-paper version
2. The American HeritageŽ Dictionary of the English Language (or, AHD4) [I really dislike all the advertising and the popups, which often cause my windows to shrink]
Thank you I certainly will include it among my faves
3-1008. (nearly) everything else, in no particular order
Not sure about that but I gather you consider most of them pretty good
1009. Urban Dictionary, the most useless user-developed site of all

I couldn't agree more on that last one. For what it's worth you might there look up dalehileman for what it's worth. I had asked them to delete whereupon they agreed but didn't comply. Meantime however I have heard from a more liberal correspondent that he found it amusing so I decided to leave it
