As always, thanks for the excellent information. I just tried Defnr, using the bookmarklet you provide in this page... As a test I precisely entered the word "bookmarklet"... And guess what. No matches for it in Defnr... which is using one as one of the means to consult it... And there's no contact whatsoever. A totally closed and enclosed site. It is indeed very fast and practical, but very poor in definitions: my 2nd search was "corny" and it states just one acception, and then not the commonest. Then, let us seek "acception" in Defnr... and there's no "acception" entry either... This fixes my relation with Defnr: nil. One way to surmount some the crappiness (ahem, another term that is not in Defnr, but it is found in Dictionary.com) into which Ask has sunken Dictionary.com, as it does with everything it absorbs, is to use Firefox with one of the flash-killers add on's. It even comes with a simple one included in Toolbar buttons. Hello! As always, thanks for the excellent information.

Try to use http://www.DefineItFast.com and you compare it. I have been using this online dictionary for weeks now because their toolbar is great for my children. I found a website faster than definr.
