In the “Funny Words” thread in IMHO, a couple of people mentioned that they now got audio pronunciation of words on their online dictionarys, and I thought they meant MW online, but mine doesn’t say anything about it.  
Can anyone tell me about this? Is it some other online dictionary?  
Thanks  
Rick

It was [http://www.m-w.com](http://www.m-w.com) that we were talking about. Just click the red speaker icon next to the word after you look it up.

Thanks, folks:  
Sometimes I have to stop and think very hard about where my bedroom might be.  
Sailor, that’s pretty neat.
