For those of you that use FIREFOX instead of INTERNET EXPLORER for your browser, you can download DICTIONARY SEARCH 0.7. It will allow you to select a word, right click on it, and choose Define. It will work within Forum Garden. It's a good way to learn new words as well as how to spell them.

I know I posted this in the spelling thread, but it's similar and can be used with IE or anything, even no internet WordWeb, it's a English dictionary, thesaurus and word finder.

I only recently got the updated version, and I love it.

Right Letha, but you can't highlight a word that you have typed on a Garden

thread and get a correction, you must go and access WordWeb.

I have mine on shortcut keys to make it easier.

"Ode to the Spell Checker"



Eye halve a spelling chequer

It came with my pea sea

It plainly marques four my revue

Miss steaks eye kin knot sea.



Eye strike a key and type a word

And weight four it two say

Weather eye am wrong oar write

It shows me strait a weigh



As soon as a mist ache is maid

It nose bee fore two long

And eye can put the error rite

Its rare lea ever wrong.



Eye have run this poem threw it

I am shore your pleased two no

Its letter perfect awl the weigh

My chequer tolled me sew
