“A useless site for definitions or information”
Written on: 30/08/2012 by WinePaladin (1 review written)
Poor grammar, confused definitions and basically useless "information" Example: Searched for the definition of a coved ceiling and The Free Dictionary provided this garbled response "a ceiling, the part of which next the wail is constructed in a cove" What the heck does "next the wail"mean? And then "is constructed in a cove" implies that whatever was built, it must have been done in a cove somewhere. I think the "dictionary" is a ploy to get you to the site with its plethora of ads. Never... (read more)

One among the best free online references websites is the thefreedictionary.com, very educational and informative, contains a comprehensive volume of dictionary meanings and word uses including actual usage in sentences. Aside from being very educational the format is not very technical making it very user friendly and layman for common use. Its very utilitarian as it does not cater to academicians or students and scholars alone, it may also be used by the homemakers or the housewife taking... (read more)

Voysbox's Response to WinePaladin's Review
Written on: 27/02/2013
This is rather unkind review. I conclude that it was written by someone who would always say "next to the wall" rather than just "next the wall" - OK, so would I, but there are many highly literate people who would be happy with the shorter phrase; and when discussing details of building construction it is a strange idea that a wall might be constructed in (= at ) the geographical location of a cove rather than in ( = as ) the geometrical shape of the same name.
I use several hard-copy dictionaries and sometimes Merriam-Webster online, but I have a shortcut to the free dictionary and thesaurus on my computer desktop and find both very valuable.
