Not impressive results, however warm I might feel to see what they have done. On the other hand, obviously a word lookup would be a great feature and if there's nothing better, it wouldn't be bad, but, judging from this quick test, it wouldn't be great either. And then I looked up "war". I grew up on the Devil's Dictionary (and wrote most of [[Ambrose Bierce]]), but if we are to be NPOV, then do we want to return Bierce definitions? Or Easton's 1897 Bible Divtionary? Again, cool, but is it Wikipedia? Tom Parmenter Ortolan88
