WordWeb - A resource for teachers and students that has become truly international

Wordweb had it's origins back in 1993 when Antony Lewis was looking to find a module to help with a package he developed called Crossword Compiler. He developed Wordweb as a plugin module for the Crossword Compiler, but people began to ask him if it was possible for this module to be made stand-alone. He released the first version a couple of years later, and Wordweb has evolved on it's own since then.

Wordweb is a fully developed application that runs on all version of Windows from 98 onwards, although it is recommended to use Windows 2000 or later for the full feature set. The program runs as background process and is accessed by right-clicking on a word and pressing ctrl, or any other hotkey combination you wish. This brings up Wordweb's main dialog box with the word you highlighted selected and the dictionary definition as well as thesaurus links visible.

Wordweb contains more than 200,000 words in it's dictionary, and you can always add in more as you need to. It also allows for importing of dictionary module, or you can purchase extra dictionary modules from the site.

The thing that makes this package stand out from a lot of other packages that have sprung up in the years since Wordweb was released, is it's international english dictionary. No other dictionary has as much coverage of International English as Wordweb does. This package has specific words and definition for thousands of unique words in Irish, Australian, New Zealand, South African, and even Asian English.

It also gives those definitions in plain english, suitable for students or teachers for better explanation of what the words mean. Examples - The Australian term Cobber.

From Wordweb

Noun: cobber kóbu(r)

Usage: Austral, NZ

Australian term for a pal

Derived forms: cobbers

Type of: brother, buddy, chum, compadre, crony, paisano [US], pal, sidekick

Encyclopedia: Cobber

From AskOxford

cobber

o noun Austral./NZ informal a companion or friend.

-- ORIGIN perhaps related to English dialect cob take a liking to.

As can be seen, Wordweb gives a lot more information than the Big dictionary, including thesaurus links, alternate terms, and plain english definitions.

For students needing to learn the different dialects of Australia or New Zealand, this package is well-suited due to it's inclusion of hundreds of region-specific words that simply are not properly referenced with the big online-only dictionaries. For a lot of Australia and New Zealand, broadband does not exist, so having a dictionary tool that sits on the desktop and does not need to access the internet is a big bonus for writing reports or doing research.

Plus, it does some beauty Crossword lookups and even anagrams too.

Tim Morrison is a founding member of Morristreet.com and has been writing articles and short fiction for many years.

He uses Wordweb extensively as it provides him a resource that just can't be beat. As he was raised in Australia and uses a lot of Aussie-speak in his language, along with his New Zealand roots, this package is top-notch.

Reverse Dictionary - Ever asked yourself "Whats the word for..."

I just happened to stumble on a pretty interesting tool today.

I was trying to find a word for "People that are behind the times" for my previous blog post. I did a couple of searches in Google without avail and eventually started scouring for a tool that did a reverse lookup on a word. A tool where I would give the definition, and it would give me some words that matched that definition. What I discovered was Onelook.com's Reverse Dictionary.

Reverse Dictionaries allow you to "Describe a concept" in order to find words that match that description.

Cool Stuff, especially for all of us non-harvard graduates.

What I find the most interesting though is all of the uses for this tool. It is actually a very smart search engine. You would be suprized the sort of answers you could get from asking a variety of questions. Here are some of potential applications that OneLook describes:

- Find a word, when you know its definition, [or a portion of the definition].

- Explore related concepts. Baseball, clouds, cities.

- Generate a list of words in some category. I.E. Large Birds, Green fruit, Canadian authors.

- Answer basic indentification questions. What is the capital of Vietnam, Who is big birds friend on Sesame Street. What is the longest River in the world

In actuality Onelook is indexing much more then just dictionaries to find these answers. They index encyclopedia's and other reference sites as well.

I dont know about you guys, but if I had a very large amount of money, I might consider trying to buy their technology. There are a lot of times I wish the major search engines could do some of the stuff that they are. Ask.com (askjeeves) does some of this, but you cant get lists from Ask, its usually websites that come up that require you to sift through several pages to find your answers.

For all of you content mongers out there, this sort of technology could feed some very interesting sites.

I would love to see some sort of API.

12 Credible Reasons to Avoid Banning Dictionaries From Schools and Libraries

Werden Lexika zu rassigen für unsere Kinder? Wörterbücher, Enzyklopädien und Thesaurus zu Recht auf eine umstrittene Liste der Literatur für Schulkinder platziert werden soll? Vor kurzem las ich einen Artikel über ein Schulbezirk, die das Merriam-Webster Collegiate Dictionary aus den Regalen in ihren Schulen verboten. Während ich glaube, dass Eltern und Erziehungsberechtigte haben das Recht, bestimmte Dinge im Leben ihrer Kinder zu zensieren, die potenzielle Gefahr für ihre persönliche und spirituelle Entwicklung sein könnte, glaube ich nicht, dass das Entfernen der Merriam-Webster Collegiate Dictionary aus den Regalen die beste und klügste wissenschaftliche Entscheidung zu treffen.

Allzu oft, Laufe ich in vielen Grund- und Schüler, die selten ein Wörterbuch oder den Thesaurus zu verwenden. Das Wörterbuch wurde eine kontinuierliche erforderliche Ressource für meine akademische Wachstum und Fortschritt von der Grundschule bis Graduiertenschule. Es bleibt immer noch ein sehr wichtiges Nachschlagewerk für Wissen und Forschung, dass ich fast jeden Tag benutzen. Wenn neue Wörter oder Jargon in einem unbekannten Kontext verwendet wird, während ich bin reden hören oder ein Buch zu lesen, ich notieren Sie diese Worte und beziehen sich auf meine alten, zerrissenen College Wörterbuch oder den Thesaurus für Hilfe.

Dies ist, zwar keinen persönlichen Angriff gegen die Befürworter der Merriam-Webster Collegiate Dictionary aus Schule Regalen verbieten ist es eine Petition, um mit Vorsicht vorgehen, wenn unsere Kinder aus bestimmten Bildungsressourcen zu verbergen, die didaktischen Sicherheitsanfälligkeit verhindern könnten, wenn sie nicht in unserer Obhut. Zur gleichen Zeit gibt Eltern und Erziehungsberechtigte eine großartige Gelegenheit, ihre Kinder über bestimmte Toxizitäten zu unterrichten, die für ihr Wohlergehen schädlich sein könnte.

Hier sind zwölf glaubwürdige Gründe, die weitere Verwendung von Lexika in unser Schulsystem zu legitimieren:

(1) Es verbessert die Alphabetisierung und wissenschaftlichen Fortschritt.

2. Es erweitert und entwickelt Ihren mündlichen und schriftlichen Wortschatz.

3. Es hilft mit Verständnis Silben, Abkürzungen, Rechtschreibung und Interpunktionszeichen.

4. Es hilft bei der Entdeckung der Geschichte der englischen Sprache.

5. Es deckt Aussprache Symbole.

6. Es hilft, wenn mit den erläuternden Diagramme und Erläuterungen vertraut zu werden.

7. Sie sind in der Lage zu verstehen, Zeichen und Symbole.

8. Sie lernen, wie zu nutzen, das Handbuch des Stils.

9. Sie werden geografische und biographische Namen lernen.

10. Es hilft Wort Herkunft und Kategorien (Substantiv, Verb, Adjektiv oder Adverb) zu verstehen.

(11) Es ist von Vorteil für die mündliche und schriftliche Kommunikation Entwicklung.

(12) Es ist eine unabdingbare Mechanismus für Studenten, Staats-und Regierungschefs, Autoren, Referenten und Pädagogen.

Let 's face it, in unserer Welt, die voller fortschrittlicher Technologie, so ziemlich alles zu erforschen das Herz begehrt, egal, wo Sie, in einer Art und Weise suchen oder anderen, die unsere Kinder, die gut, schlecht und hässlich verfügbar gemacht werden. So viel wie wir sie vor den Schrecken des Lebens schützen möchten, haben Familien die Möglichkeit und macht, konsistente Linien der Kommunikation zu öffnen, ihre Kinder über Moral, Liebe, Frieden, Ethik, sowie die Gefahren von der teuflischen einzuweisen.

Das Wörterbuch und den Thesaurus enthalten Tausende von Wörtern und umfassende Verweise auf die Bereitschaft, bereichern unsere intellektuelle Kapazität, Bewusstsein, Erbauung und Entwicklung aufrufen. Diese wertvollen Bildungsressourcen von unser Schulsystem Verbot möglicherweise am wenigsten unserer gesellschaftlichen sorgen.

Interesting, weird facts about encyclopedias - Yes, encyclopedias

Okay, I admit what do strange things, encyclopedias are probably not at the top on your list.

But here are a few bits of trivia, interessante-and Yes, even strange - that anyone who ever has had, to try and research can maintain a paper with the help of one of those things.

We thank God for the Internet.

Look up "Encyclopedia" in the dictionary

You've heard the word to all your life. You know what it stand for now. And you probably think that it means "Book of knowledge" or some such red.

Well... No.

With what you call you faced the first collection of facts, the authors of course looked, ancient Greek, and chose "Enkyklos Paideias", which translates as "things of young." all in a circle

So I'm confused, how are on it, that a.

If you think the Britannica is large...

The largest encyclopedia in history must be taken with the in 1408 during the Ming dynasty in China in operation. It was 11,000 volumes (Yes thousands!) and had 370 million characters.

All hand written.

Try that at home wearing a rucksack.

The craziest Encyclopedia Britannica

Put together that most serious encyclopedia, EB, as it is today not always quite as straight.

In fact, 1768 of 3 Scots began the first edition in the year. One was drunk like back to throwing beer with Robert Burns. Another was a buffoon 4 feet 6 inches, who like to wear an enormous papier-mâché nose (like a joke, you see), which earned a fortune make dog collars for the rich. And the third was the hapless printer that had no idea what in always.

The first EB itself is only about as eclectic. There are 7 lines of theater, 500 words about poetry, but 39 pages about horse diseases. I think that we know, what was important to these men.

Speaking of which: Women - "The woman of the man." Yes. This is it. 4 Words.

They computed "and" the number of species on the Ark of Noah. 177, if you are interested in.

A last jewel: excessive gas-"Blow tobacco smoke to the anus". Good luck with that a.

James London DeVasher writes about things he loves. How cool is its job?

Here is a website about something else he finds interessant-and very useful! -1-Cup- coffee maker.

If you your coffee lieben-- and never enough time in the morning-have you should a 1 cup coffee machine such as the Senseo coffee machine.

You should really visit.
