With regards to Classics, the "You're probably using the wrong dictionary" blog post at http://jsomers.net/blog/dictionary http://jsomers.net/blog/dictionary was probably the most interesting pieces I've read on HN.
- lvoudour 9y agoWow that was a great read, thanks!
- wila 9y agoVery nice indeed. Immediately ran downstairs to verify a Websters encyclopedia dictionary I bought in the UK around 1997 only to find it wasn't the version with all the prose. It's still a very nice illustrated (and heavy!) dictionary, but not quite like what jsomers describes. So downloaded the version he offers for download and am now installing the dictionary using the steps he provides. Thank You, really looking forward to using it. edit: and his install steps still work, using it in the dictionary app right now. Super!
- newbear 9y agoI wish I had a good word to describe my gratitude for this post! I've though reverse dictionary could work but doesn't. Another dictionary I would love to have access to is one where you can find words in other languages that don't exist in yours.
