It sure looks spiffy, but I could never trust an online dictionary that misspells "it's" on the front page. Also, they seem to think there are only four parts of speech in English. Or rather, they only define words that fall into one of those four categories.

The first thing I clicked on became the center of a new map, but then after that it didn't do it.  Maybe there was an indication of linkness that I missed.
