NETLINES, Harry Brown, BMJ, July 8, 2006; 333: 102. Looking to expand your vocabulary, want a new quotation every day, or need a dictionary reference source? www.thefreedictionary.com may well be the answer to your quest. This collection of excellent resources includes a medical dictionary, a legal dictionary, and help with acronyms. If you want to expand your horizons further, there is an article of the day, as well as hangman and a word quiz. The dictionary set up alone is worth a place in your favourites file, but there is much more than that here. This is a fun, educational site. April 20, 2006 Matt Cutts, Software Engineer, Google Inc., "... a really smooth Google-like personalized home page with smooth drag and drop, easy RSS adding (including the number of posts to show from a favorite blog), and color customization. Pretty nice." http://www.mattcutts.com/blog/catching-up/
April 12, 2006 The Free Dictionary was reviewed and selected an Official Honoree. It is a tremendous honor to be selected as an Honoree as less than 20% of all sites entered receive this mark of distinction. With over 5,500 sites entered this year, this truly is a noteworthy achievement.
April 10, 2006 David Einstein There also are Web sites that aggregate reference works including dictionaries and encyclopedias under one online roof. Two of the best are thefreedictionary.com and bartleby.com.
March 23, 2006 Doug Stanley TheFreeDictionary.com is like the Swiss Army knife of reference sites, offering free English, medical, legal, financial and computer dictionaries, a thesaurus, encyclopedia, literature reference library and search engine rolled into one. Journal of AccountancyFebruary, 2006 The Feb 2006 issue of the Journal of Accountancy mentions TheFreeDictionary.com in the column Smart Stops on the Web (page 31). Words on the Web This Smart Stop works overtime not only to define a word, but also to give users antonyms, synonyms and two online encyclopedia results. A query of accounting returned five listings for the word itself plus links to other definitions associated with it, such as accrual basis and internal control, references in classic literature and links to related Web sites. This site's home page also gives users a quotation and word of the day, as well as a word game to enhance vocabulary.
