Dictionaries!

Bill Bowman of the Asbury Park Press write about Dictionary.com: "I stumbled on this site by accident today and was really impressed. It's called dictionary.com. It features a number of different dictionaries, fully searchable, including English, medical, and computer, and has a thesaurus. It also has this cool dream dictionary, which purports to interpret dream subjects. A nice diversion, if nothing else."
