Wordnik

I just learned about a new dictionary and thesaurus, Wordnik. It’s a really handy reference tool because it offers a number of sentences for each word, so you can see how the word is employed in various contexts. Wordnik was founded by Erin McKean, the former editor-in-chief of The New Oxford American Dictionary, and it already contains more than four million words.

Yes, Wordnik is a great tool. You still need to be careful, but I bet that it will rapidly become a very reliable website.
