Does anybody know of an online (free) tool that allows you to highlight a word and double click it or something and have that word looked up in an online dictionary? I could copy and paste and go to dictionary.com but im lazy…
Just trying to learn new words when I come across them. Keep edjumacated, ya know?
just type define:_______ into google and like magic…
If you have firefox,
https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/1171/
The only problem though is it looks like you have to pay (?)

That’s funny, I just highlighted “edjumacated”, right clicked and was given the option to search the web for the word. Google provided the hits. The first hit was Urban Dictionary.
I’m using Mozilla Firefox Version 1.5.0.10.
What about keeping an actual dictionary at your computer and just looking up the word that way… you can’t seriously be that lazy.
Why I like Wikipedia is the reason most people don?t
You can look up interesting words like perineum by just right-clicking on it or highlighting it on mobile. It’s built-in.
Just noticed this was a 16-year old post that got bumped. Hopefully he figured it out by now.
Not deleting my response because it was super clever.
Its the perimeter of a millenium?!?
Nailed it.
I’m really good at word games like “Balderdash!”.
I know a tool who looks up word definitions. Like “perineum.”
Sorry @Chris_Shugart - I couldnt resist.
