 Language: Dictionaries
I am in the process of updating the links pages to various online
dictionaries. If you have any favourites, let me know and I will include
them in the listings! Details to be published before Easter 2003. Until
then, please use the details below, even though some links are
out-of-date. Sorry.
If you want to run a
mono-lingual or bi-lingual dictionary in a separate browser window, select one from below.
You will then only need to point your mouse on the task-bar to switch between the browsers
with the dictionary and this site without having to reload these pages.

lots of other useful stuff, ILN
Net provide an English dictionary with synonyms, antonyms and lots of
other useful stuff. It does not contain special terms but is good for
general English.
