I've just run down this site - probably some of you-all hang out here already, but if not you may want to check it out: http://www.wilton.net/etyma1.htmNot a dictionary again, as such, but a great new starting (or yarting) place.

Cool etymology site, maverick, thankee kindly. I note there's an etymology for "hello" (not half as colorful as Jazz's, though). Their board's a little weak, I thought.

I stumbled upon an interesting reference site today ( http://www.bibliomania.com ) and did an AWADtalk search to see if it'd been mentioned before, and found this thread. I thought i'd resurrect it (and it appears i'm not the first to do so) so that the other newcomers might benefit from it. I'll also add a translation site that i use all the time: http://www.systranlinks.com/systran/cgi

I'm glad this thread resurfaced, and I've got one to add I haven't found here.
Zhongwen.com - Chinese Characters and Culture
http://zhongwen.com/
You don't even need language plug-ins for your browser! It's all graphics for the chinese characters, with very extensive links. English to Chinese dictionary. Pinyin imput to see characters, with back to english translations. Grammar and other useful things. I came across it when I needed help verifying some characters I came across with poor translation. Didn't want to look a fool using chinese in art, and have it say something stupid.

'Bout time this thread came back top of the heap, I reckon. This is a truly wonderful facility, if you are not already aware of it: "Librarians' Index to the Internet is a searchable, annotated subject directory of more than 7,500 Internet resources selected and evaluated by librarians for their usefulness to users of public libraries. It's meant to be used by both librarians and non-librarians as a reliable and efficient guide to described and evaluated Internet resources."Browse all subjects (A-Z!): http://www.lii.org/search/file/subjectsMy interest was triggered by an original language search: http://www.lii.org/search/file/languagesHere’s one from their searches for you, Helen and wow: http://www.lincolnu.edu/~focal/

Resurrecting these useful threads for those who do not know they exist, that is charity at its best. Acts of kindness like this, is very much appreciated. Thank you so much for taking the time to help us newcomers find our way.

Somebody once posted a link to the Atomica which you use with an ALT+click-on-word. Found it useful and have the free download going. http://www.Atomica.com

Perhaps MaxQ could add the links Jo and all have provided to the web pages of FAQs?
