Will we be able to get the Dictionary button back in the future? I just noticed when I went to check my spelling.

I looked at it when I copied the links -- & thought 'does anyone use that?'

So some folk use it?

(I use Dictionary.com quite a lot but not on here)

So .. If you want it back -- please just ask .....  8-)

I only used it once in a great while. I just downloaded a free spell checker called Tinyspell which seems to work quite well.

Not frequently but I have more than occasionally used the "Dictionary" button for other referencing: 'Translator' and 'Encyclopedia' referencing.

Maybe it would be a good idea to also add a link to Wiki ..

Good idea.  I've used wikipedia more than once for this site.

I usually:
Copy the word,
open a new tab
Paste the Word
and Then search Without even having to Use the mouse. Except to Highlight the word... Obviously ::).
But There might be people Who Use it.
But As said before a translator and encyclopedia would be useful ;)
Most people think that flying a plane is dangerous, except pilots because they know how easy it is.
Arguing with a pilot is like wrestling with a pig in the mud, after a while you begin to think the pig likes it.
