I don't think this has been mentioned...it is an immediate on screen (strip across top only) word definition information.Address used to sign on is <Wordreference.com>, really helpful while using AWAD. Not a dictionary...just good for checking the definition of word that is already on the screen.

Thanks, O swarthy goddess of victory. I left Ambrose off my page by oversight, not design.

... I never doubted you!
PS - regarding Berenice's Hair in Mr Bierce's dictionary, I wonder if F. Scott Fitzgerald was having even more fun with his story about bobbing hair than I thought he was. Any comments?

I periodically check to see who's linking to my site (you just never know), and I discovered this, which has links to almost everything (except, for some inexplicable reason, AWAD): http://wordnerd.homestead.com/index.html"WordNerd was created as a home page for the Fort Worth Star-Telegram copy desks...
