Will we be able to get the Dictionary button back in the future? I just noticed when I went to check my spelling.

I looked at it when I copied the links -- & thought 'does anyone use that?'

So some folk use it?

(I use Dictionary.com quite a lot but not on here)

So .. If you want it back -- please just ask .....  Cool

(It will be put back!)  Smiley

I only used it once in a great while. I just downloaded a free spell checker called Tinyspell which seems to work quite well.

Not frequently but I have more than occasionally used the "Dictionary" button for other referencing: 'Translator' and 'Encyclopedia' referencing.



Cool

Maybe it would be a good idea to also add a link to Wiki ..

Good idea.  I've used wikipedia more than once for this site.

I usually:
Copy the word,
open a new tab
Paste the Word
and Then search Without even having to Use the mouse. Except to Highlight the word... Obviously Roll Eyes.
But There might be people Who Use it.
But As said before a translator and encyclopedia would be useful Wink
 

Most people think that flying a plane is dangerous, except pilots because they know how easy it is.
Arguing with a pilot is like wrestling with a pig in the mud, after a while you begin to think the pig likes it.
