3 generations look up the spelling of a word. Do I look like I keep dictionary in my pocket? Spellcheck doesn't even know what this word is. Dad won't buy me a smartphone.
Until there’s some REASON to believe ANYTHING you read on the web… x_Tech has the best alternative.
There’s another business opportunity for someone- be the first DotCom that evaluates and rates the basic trustworthiness of articles on the Innerwebs. Why, the bribery alone would make you rich.
My Merriam-Webster’s (11th ed) is 14 inches from my left elbow with a backup Webster II in front of my nose. I removed the “W” button from my tool bar. Hate to say it but a very dusty black book is also used for reference.
I really don’t want to sound like a fanboy, but I could not live without the New Oxford American Dictionary and Oxford American Writer’s Thesaurus that come with Mac OS X. Of course, being a non-native English speaker makes me need them more than usual.
There’s a W on the toolbar?I keep the 1964 Collins Gem Dictionary by the computer. wroks for msot. Sellnipg inst hrad. Its the darn synonyms and homonyms.No, you know they are their and there with a not and knot…..
