Online Dictionaries

Looking for a definition of a word? Here are some online dictionaries that are easy to use. My favorite is www.dictionary.com. Just go to the website and type in the word your looking for. It doesn't get any easier than that. A few more online dictionaries are www.merriam-webster.com, www.yourdictionary.com, and www.encarta.msn.com. The encarta is suitable for all ages but has the option for parents to block offensive material. It also has tabs for a thesaurus and translations into Spanish, French, German, and Italian.
