The Dictionary - Yet Again
« on: April 04, 2014, 04:34:05 PM »
I think Ninjawords has been the least popular in a long line of contentious choices for the dictionary that opens up if you click on a word in Chihuahua. Its biggest failing is that it is missing a lot of words that I would expect it to have.

So I've switched to Wiktionary for the time being. It's certainly more comprehensive than Ninjawords, and it has no advertising, unlike some other online dictionaries, but I'm sure it will turn out to have some disadvantages.

For the benefit of anyone who is new to the discussion of this feature of Chihuahua, I must point out that:

The dictionary does not define every word accepted in Chihuahua.

Actually there is probably no single dictionary that includes all the words permitted in Chihuahua, but the dictionary look-up feature is provided as a convenience, to make it easy to check the meanings of quite a lot of the words you might encounter.
