debian$ dict qualms bash: dict: command not found
This happens to me far too often. I can’t be bothered to install dictd and the database files. It is usually quite a mess and I’m not too happy with the results. Instead I use the Web:
I’ve stopped using dictionary.com although it does seem to be first site I think of because of its great domain name.
I hate dictionary.com because it has annoying popups, advertisements and today I found it didn’t have a definition for the word qualms whilst Answers.com did.
Now I just need to find a decent thesaurus not from *.reference.com
- Before anyone suggests Merriam-Webster… NO Their Web forms are too heavy.
- Elook doesn’t have qualms either. It also doesn’t do acronyms.
- I have not been very impressed with Wiktionary either. The site is also usually, too slow.
- Google define isn’t impressive too.
