Remember the days when a dictionary definition required lugging out a huge Merriam-Webster volume, then searching slowly for the word while reciting the A-B-C’s under your breath? Those days are long gone, and will soon become part of the uphill-both-ways canon.
Lucky for everyone, online dictionaries are now also available for smart phones. This app version is a combination of Dictionary.com and Thesaurus.com.
