Free Dictionary  |
|
 Would you like a free dictionary that is easily accessible by your browser?Have you ever been reading and needed to know just what a word meant but didn't have a dictionary handy and didn't want to bother opening a new window, finding your dictionary link and looking it up?
Or have you gone into a topic and felt sure that the content was copied and pasted but you're not sure where it was plagiarized from?
I found a neat little tool that will allow you to highlight any text in any web page and look it up easily! Just go to the link given and load the program there. It will modify your right click menu and add three hot linked items -*search* -*dictionary* -*encyclopedia*.
Once you upload the program and install it, takes about 5 mins, you will have to reboot to make it operational. But once you do, it is very easy to use! Just highlight the word or text in question, right click on it and select the desired option! A new window will pop up with your information!
Not only that but while you are on that window, you can leave the text in the search box and switch modes to thesaurus, antonyms, synonyms, wikipedia and more! Or you can look up other words while you are there!
http://www.thefreedictionary.com/add2ie.htm
This program uses no memory as it is not a TSR but rather modifies your right click menu adding three hot linked options! I have been using it for a week and love it! I am running IE6 and Windows Me on a Celeron 800Mhz processor.
Also, if you like the Word of the Day, Quote of the Day and Hangmans Game which are on my myLot profile, you can get these here too! Just look in the menu at the bottom of the page!
Try it and let me know what you think!

2.  zukepr (11799) | 3 years ago | This is very useful.
There have been many times I have not known what a word means and had to open up another window to find a dictionary and then look the word up.
PFT!! By the time I figured out what the word mean I after all that I am no longer interested. LOL
I must have ADHD or something.
But if this will make things easier I can probably get more down without losing interest.
Thanks for sharing this. | |

And it works!!
Now I can look words up in a little pop up window and dont have to exhaust myself looking around.
That is so flipping awesome. LOL

| Strongheart (1079) | 7 months ago |  Sure do miss ya Ally! You know a lot of things have changed since we last spoke. I left the SKSOUTH account and started a new one, had mylot cancel the old one and now I am running a game called mylot survivor and came here to hide the hidden immunity idol. It is a "horse ranch" but I wonder if any of my contestants will find it?

4.  tammyr (3436) | 3 years ago |  That sounds very useful. I will have to check it out. I wonder if I can use it with firefox. I have a dictionary and thesaurus, but this one sounds a lot better than the one I have.

|
|
| SKSOUTH (391) | 3 years ago | Yes there is an option for mozilla/firefox users! Let me know how it works so I can pass it on! | |
|
|
| tammyr (3436) | 3 years ago | Thank you and I will let you know AS soon as I check it out.

|
| tammyr (3436) | 3 years ago | LOL Well it ain't no better than the one I have!ROFL! It IS the one I have. I do like it. Although it has a bit of trouble if the word in not in the simple form. It was no help to your 'poem' I can tell you that! But it is a very handy add-on to have for all that have firefox, and IE also I suppose. | |
