Dictionaries

According to the NYTimes, Dictionary.com just sold for $100 million. As the Times points out, they aren't buying a great set of words, they are buying the address. People use Dictionary.com because it is very easy to remember and they constantly need the info.

But if you want some real dictionary help, my favorite online source is OED.com. But I'll warn our readers that this works on lots of campuses (e.g., RU is a subscriber) or at libraries but it doesn't work at home much, unless you subscribe yourself.
