That may be true, but I can spell "dictionary."

Just for nowslimmer:

Click the link and add it to your favorites.

Another option would be to learn how to spell "Merriam-Webster".

skiracer - Thanks for some good suggestions. I already did add it to my bookmarks, but it is in a subcategory(Language). Once I start to use it, it will will be readily available from the list of recent url's visited.

Sears dropped Roebuck. Why can't Webster drop his wife's name?

Hope it comes back. I used to use it all the time and sometime still do. More often lately I've been using the "define:" feature of Google (type "define:backpacker" for an example).

Violin probably is not using the homepage. You need to click here: dictionary.com

Happy Days Hve Returned.
It came back while I was at the pool hall. Great. It's a happy day. (It was out all or part of yesterday, too.

And that other spelling is easier. Thanks.
