[nabs-l] Accessible Online Dictionary?

[Jewel S.]

The Google serach is what I was doing, but I don't consider that a
reliable source, since they quote wikipedia and wikipedia's dictionary
as good sources...I don't think that's a good source of prper
definitions. I also had difficulty navigating dictionary.com and the
online Merriam-Webster. I guess it's just me, but all those
advertisements really get in the way! Any tips for quick navigation?
Is there anywhere I can get a dictionary program for my comuter for a
low price, or an inexpensive talking handheld dictionary? These
definitions took me nearly an hour, and there were only 10 of them!
This task should not take me more than 15 minutes, I think. I have
more important homework to get to.
