Nice to have.

Nice to have at your fingertips. I would rather like it if it linked all it older previous definitions throughout the history of Webster. I would also go into the history of Webster and help the reader understand how this came to be. This would then be a 5 star application.

This is a wonderfully convenient & sufficiently adequate "definition" resource❗️

Again...I repeat (w/ additions)...this is a resource that is extremely convenient & sufficiently adequate, even 4 those of us who have "higher" educational certificates, diplomas, or degrees. It's main "selling point" (@ least 4 those of us who r of "average intelligence"--whatever that means) is that it's not overly "high-brow" or hard 2 understand. It is concise, & gets 2 the heart of every definition w/out the use of any excessive, flowery, or otherwise immoderate verbiage.
