Zutter Bug tipped me off today to one of the greatest additions to the Web 2.0 space… a new free dictionary service called Ninja Words. Launched in November 2006 by Phil Crosby, it’s an Ajax-based dictionary site which pulls all of it’s information from Wiktionary and the Princeton WordNet.
It is (for the moment at least) lightning fast and has been able to find all of the words and phrases I’ve thrown at it so far, including:
The tool will also correct spelling (I forgot the second “m” in grammarian), as well as distinguish between common and proper nouns (note the two spellings of Enterprise).
This tool also comes with the ability to have a Windows Tray application, though the link to the OS X widget is broken. Hoorah!
