Online Graphical Dictionary Use this resource once, and it will prove invaluable for all writers! Type in a word and watch the connections appear. Scroll your mouse over a word to view the definition and use in context. Move your cursor into the main window and it turns into a hand to move the screen to fully display the word and its connections. Double click on the word and it will drill down to just that word’s connections. Scroll down to view parts of speech, word relationships, etc., all are color-coded to assist the user. The only thing missing is audio to hear the pronunciation. //But,// if one uses the Accessibility features on both Mac and PC, this can be easily overcome.**
