ARTFLProject: Roget’s Thesaurus
"As a hobby, the English physician Dr. Peter Roget liked to make lists of related words. In 1852, he published his first thesaurus, or treasury of words. It’s been an invaluable resource to writers ever since. As Mark Twain said: "The difference between the right word and the almost right word is the difference between lightning and the lightning bug." This electronic version allows you to search the headwords (categories) and the full text of Roget’s Thesaurus version 1.02 (supplemented in 1991)."

American Sign Language Browser
"This comprehensive online dictionary of letters and words was created by the Communications Technology Laboratory of Michigan State University. Each word is illustrated with a QuickTime movie, which is both good news and bad news. The good news is the movie captures the entire upper body of the signer, and repeating the word is a simple mouse click on the play button. Unfortunately, these QuickTime movie files are large, making them slow to load."

A.Word.A.Day
""The music and magic of words — that’s what A.Word.A.Day is all about." Words are usually selected around a weekly theme, and emailed free (with definitions) to over 93,000 subscribers. You can view today’s and yesterday’s word at the Web site. I eagerly clicked on the Pronunciation link, and was disappointed when it didn’t work ("unknown file format"). Past words are available in either a chronological or alphabetical archive."
