I miss dictionary.com

Dictionary.com,
I haven’t been able to access you several days.
Did I do something wrong?
Why have you forsaken me?

:frowning: :frowning: :frowning: :frowning: :frowning: :frowning: :frowning: :frowning: :frowning: :frowning:

I miss you! Please come back!

Use www.m-w.com instead. It’s mo’ bettah anyway.

Now that’s just eerie. Today I needed a dictionary and I was on the computer. Too lazy to get up and get the book, I type the first thing that pops into my head: dictionary.com. It doesn’t work. I’ve never ever used that site before, nor plan to in the future. I never even HEARD of it before, even though I was sure it existed. Flash forward, about two hours. I see this thread and near pee my pants.

I was a big dictionary.com fan too. I hope it comes back. =(

Until then, m-w.com will have to suffice.

Hehe. M-w.com was superior all along. And now all those who disagreed will have to conform. :smiley:

I did a google search, and instead of www.dictionary.com, the first one it pulled up was www.yourdictionary.com.

Doesn’t look the same as dictionary.com, but seems to do the same thing. Also has a thesaurus and different languages dictionary, as well.

I am guessing this might have taken its place.

May dictionary.com RIP, I foresaw it’s demise but prayed I was wrong.

I use www.britannica.com myself.

Uh, JohnT? The “Collegiate” dictionary at the Britannica site is the Merriam-Webster online dictionary–more frequently reached through www.m-w.com.

I just went there and it’s back up!

www.onelook.com for all your dictionary needs.

Now it’s down again.

This’ll mean googlewhacking needs a new official arbiter of whether a word exists.

m-w.com may be superior in terms of content, but how can you beat the ease of typing in dictionary.com? I always liked the “you’re grabbing the virtual dictionary off the shelf” analogy, there.

Now it’s up again. Those crazy dictionaryers at dictionary.com are playing fast and loose with y’all!

I have been able to access dictionary.com all day… but yesterday it was down for me.

i used it fine today. neener neener neener!!! :stuck_out_tongue:

hannahw, the word would be “Lexicographers”.

but yes, they be CRAZY!

…googlewhacking just isn’t the same without the ability to (effortlessly) look up the meanings of all those new words…
