If you find one let me know, in the meantime wordweb is a good free thesaurus , and a decent dictionary, though i think the guy who wrote it paraphrased the definitions from a differnt dictionary. they just aren't as exact.

there is a dictionary/thesaurus in Encarta Reference Library 2004....

I use WordWeb - small, free, precise
Theasaurus and dictionary

Why not use www.Dictionary.com? :huh:

There&#39;s also Merriam-Webster. (www.m-w.com)

i am something with much more a detailed and accurate definition (oxfords has a good reputation and i very much trust) meriam-webster (probably american..could be wrong) im not too happy about as some words have a different meaning on the other side of the atlantic and that probably for pilitical reasons too..who know&#33;&#33;&#33;...cant be trusted in my opinion...buts that is just my opinion so shoot me down for it (if u feel differently :D )

Zedaxax recommendation is very good though so i shall stick to that for now untill something better comes up.

i typically use a dictionary on my laptop while doing homework, and that isn&#39;t connected tot he internet all of the time. its also faster to have something that you can use just by double clicking the word or highlighing it and clicking an icon.
