Dictionary.com

Don't know the meaning of a word or how to spell it?

A new link has been provided on the left under "More Links." Dictionary.com provides multiple definitions along with guides to pronunciation. If the word entered is mispelled, it offers possible suggestions for the correct spelling. Since most search engines, including the Furr Online Catalogue require that all entries be spelled correctly before any matches can be made, this should be especially helpful.
