Tormod Posted August 14, 2006 Report Share Posted August 14, 2006 Hypography has launched yet another site in our network. Wordseek.info is an advanced site where you can research words. It can be used for standard dictionary lookups, or you can match words against a range of alternative sources like an antonym dictionary, law dictionary, the devil's dictionary, a thesaurus, and various others. It can also be used to find new words from letter combinations. Just type in a few letters and it will list possible words which match. You can then look these words up in the dictionaries. The url for the site is http://www.wordseek.info - but the site might eventually be drawn into the Hypography domain. Easy linking for use in the forumsNote that at the Hypography science forums you can easily add direct links so that others can lookup words in your posts. Use this code: [noparse][dictionary]science[/dictionary][/noparse] which yields...science Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tormod Posted August 14, 2006 Author Report Share Posted August 14, 2006 Careful...no space around the word, Turtle. sweet works better. You can also link directly to a dictionary if you know it's short name (list here: http://www.wordseek.info/copyright.php) So, for example: WordNet (wn)http://www.wordseek.info/word/wn/turtle.html Devil's Dictionary (devils)http://www.wordseek.info/word/devils/heaven.html CIA Factbook 2002 (world02):http://www.wordseek.info/word/world02/Norway.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheBigDog Posted August 14, 2006 Report Share Posted August 14, 2006 Is there a way to add this to the reply page so we can look up words while making our reply without having to open another page? Bill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I work as a language practitioner, and this is sure to come in very handy. :( I was thinking about you, Chacmool. Maybe we can create lists of cool words to feature as "Word of the week" etc and display it on the forum front page. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tormod Posted August 15, 2006 Author Report Share Posted August 15, 2006 Yes, we can build our own dictionary. I just haven't quite found out the ins and outs of that yet but I think it should be fairly easy. It's kinda stupid that you can't look up "hypography" so we need to do something about that. :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mercedes Benzene Posted August 15, 2006 Report Share Posted August 15, 2006 It's kinda stupid that you can't look up "hypography" so we need to do something about that. I agree, but its a wonderful tool regardless. Good work Tormod! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
