Unter dem Buchstaben "A" findet man z.B.: ...
Egyptian hieratic characters, or abbreviated forms of written hieroglyphs. Under each letter will be given in this work the Phenician character from which it comes, along with an early form or two of the Greek and Latin derived characters (especially intended to show the change of direction of the letter consequent upon the change of direction of writing, since the Phenician was always written from right to left); and to these will be added the hieratic and hieroglyphic characters from which the Phenician is held to originate, according to De Rougé's theory. It is to be noticed that our ordinary capitals are the original forms of our letters; the lowercase, Italic, and written letters are all derived from the capitals. Our "A" corresponds to the Phenician letter called "aleph"; and this name, signifying "ox", is also the original of the Greek name of the same letter, "alpha". The comparative scheme for A is as follows:

english2american - English to American Dictionary

(E?)(L?) http://www.english2american.com/
Auf dieser Site findet man einige Hundert englische Wörter die man in den USA entweder nicht kennt oder die dort ganz anders benutzt werden.

As a Scot who has spent some time in the USA on holiday lately, I have discovered a bewildering array of words which are in common use on our side of the pond and invariably mean nothing at all or something exceedingly rude on the other side. I once noted down about fifteen of them and that afternoon formulated them into this dictionary. Since then the dictionary has thrived (well, lived) on contributions from readers and is steadily growing into a decent reference.

...

There are currently 593 words in the dictionary. At the time of publishing I have dealt with 2628 e-mails and feedback forms, and have (ahem) 853 messages containing suggestions that I still haven't got around to replying to.

"It is often forgotten that (dictionaries) are artificial repositories, put together well after the languages they define. The roots of language are irrational and of a magical nature."
- Jorge Luis Borges, Prologue to "El otro, el mismo."

Info about each term includes when the word first begin to appear and how the meaning changed through the xears.

1828 edition of Webster's American Dictionary of the English Language
Word of the Day Comparison

(E?)(L?) http://1828.mshaffer.com/
Noah Webster, the Father of American Christian education, wrote the first American dictionary and established a system of rules to govern spelling, grammar, and reading. This master linguist understood the power of words, their definitions, and the need for precise word usage in communication to maintain independence. Webster used the Bible as the foundation for his definitions.

This standard reference tool will greatly assist students of all ages in their studies.

No other dictionary compares with the Webster's 1828 dictionary. The English language has changed again and again and in many instances has become corrupt. The American Dictionary of the English Language is based upon God's written word, for Noah Webster used the Bible as the foundation for his definitions. This standard reference tool will greatly assist students of all ages in their studies. From American History to literature, from science to the Word of God, this dictionary is a necessity. For homeschoolers as well as avid Bible students it is easy, fast, and sophisticated.

PREFACE
"The Devil's Dictionary" was begun in a weekly paper in 1881, and was continued in a desultory way at long intervals until 1906. In that year a large part of it was published in covers with the title "The Cynic's Word Book", a name which the author had not the power to reject or happiness to approve.

Concept
As you type a word in the textbox, a javascript event fires and a HTTP GET request to the ASPX page. The response from the ASPX page is simply displayed in a div tag under the textbox. The page is not refreshed/reloaded for every keystroke as everything is done by the javascript in the page. The main javascript object that allows us to do this is XMLHttpRequest. You could read about it from Apple's developer site here. This is supported by IE 5.0 +, Mozilla 1.0 + and Apple's own Safari 1.2 +.

Database
The database contains just one table. The data comes from a freely available online dictionary (a public domain English word list dictionary, based on the public domain portion of "The Project Gutenberg Etext of Webster's Unabridged Dictionary" which is in turn based on the 1913 US Webster's Unabridged Dictionary. You could download it from here). The table is called WordList
