While sitting at one’s computer, using an online dictionary is easier than getting up and opening up the printed version. My favorites are Merriam-Webster ( http://m-w.com), Dictionary.com ( http://dictionary.com ) and the built-in Dictionary.com lookup at Google ( http://google.com ). To look up at word after searching for it at Google, click on your underlined search term in the blue bar where it says “Searched the web for.”
