I have Bartlett’s Roget’s Thesaurus and it seems to be a good one, but I am thinking of buying a oxford dictionary. Any advice will be much appreciated.
My favorite dictionary is the Oxford Dictionary of English. I also have the unabridged Webster’s, but I prefer the Oxford.

I just got a new enV touch and I’m having trouble with the texting. When you type a word that’s not in the dictionary of the phone, it usually adds it after typing it a few times. It’s not doing it though, and I was just wondering how to fix it or if there’s a special setting for it or something. Thanks!
I have this same problem!!!! It’s very annoying. It doesn’t even wanna type didn’t or wouldn’t for some strange reason. I hope they get it fixed because I’m not used to QWERT and I like typing on the regular ABC vertical format. Hope we get helped!

All the dictionaries I have found simply have a sentence describing the meaning of the word. And that makes sense, its quick and efficient.
But I was hoping to find an online dictionary that has various examples of the word being used in various sentences. Is there any such thing?
Dictionary.com generally provides a sentence for each subtle meaning of the word.
Otherwise, just google the word itself and see how it is being used.

I want my computer to recognize spellings like "neighbour" and "honour". So I guess I need to change from "English, U.S." to something like "English, Canada". How do I do this? I want to change the default to a Canadian dictionary.

In Word versions prior to Word 2007:
1.Press CTRL/A to select the entire document.
2.Click the Tools->Language->Set Language menu item.
3.Select the language you want in the list box.
4.If you want to make this the default language for future documents, click the Default button.
5.Click Yes in the message box.
6.Click OK.
In Word 2007:
1.Press CTRL/A to select the entire document.
2.Click the Review tab on the Ribbon.
3.In the Proofing section, click Set Language.
4.Continue as in Step 3, above.
That should do it.

Looking for a dictionary app in the App Store that has the most words in it that don’t require the internet in order to be defined. I’m expecting it won’t be free.
I have dictionary.com on my iPhone and I like the ability to delete some of my recents just to show the good words to look up quickly. The app delivers world-class reference content from Dictionary.com and Thesaurus.com including more than 275,000 definitions and 80,000 synonyms. The app also features audio pronunciations, similarly spelled words and Dictionary.com’s popular Word of the Day.
And the best thing it’s free !
See source.
