For those who don't run to multi-volume dictionaries. Here is a thread where people can post the URLs of on-line dictionaries. Then we can all find them when we want them.

Thanks, tsuwm, I love it! Contrary to the mav's assertion, there is at least one "old hand" who still doesn't know what she's doing. But I am very much further along than I was when this originally was posted: now I know enough to know that I could probably figure out how to use them, whereas earlier I was too intimidated to even try one.
I think I'm going to have to create a reference folder in my favorites section. I already have one just from the
various ref.'s relating somehow to this Board that the
column runs

column runs off the bottom of my screen! My most recent addition is one for Rupert Brooke, with whom I am now in love.

Perfect, Tsuwm!
Thanks for this.
PS I chose 'Maverick' largely because of my spilling habits, so now at least I can look up Orient, Orienting, Orientation when away from my study (providing I can navigate the web)!

Spilling could be dangerous if all you're wearing is a
g-string, mav! (ref. my response to you not being a vestal
virgin.) This was a good one, though! I'll have to allow you a point for this one. (And if you didn't do it
on purpose, for heaven's sake keep quiet about it!)
My sympathies on learning to navigate the web--I'm---er,
no, I'm not going to say that!!!--a beginner there myself,
though learning. Trial and error, just keep on--it'll come.

The other one that Jackie mentioned and I now use as my alternative spell-checker is GuruNet http://www.gurunet.com. It can be installed on your computer so that you just right click on any word on a webpage (or bulletin board) whilst you are on line and it will search for a definition for you. There is also an option to search the web using a variety of search engines including the wonderful "google", mentioned above without having to open up another web browser page or losing your setting in AWAD.
