Advantages: Good free service Disadvantages: Too many adverts & pop-ups
Dictionary.com?! Dictionary.com?! Seriously?! Why, yes, something that seems so simply and basic has it's place on the World Wide Web (yes, I'm aware of the irony!), but fear not...it's not as basic as it seems!
Rather than just typing in a word to discover its definition, dictionary.com does provide a far greater service. Since it's launch way back in 1995 (were websites even around then?!), it's one of the world's most popular services, as naturally many people will just type in 'dictionary.com' into their browser if they need to find the definition of a word...even if they don't know the website exists, it makes sense to have a crack at it!
The website does provide a thesaurus option, translator and encyclopaedia...for anyone even contemplating steering away from Wikipedia, God forbid! But there are other quirks to the website ...

Advantages: It's that Dardelius - he made me do it! Disadvantages: Does he come from the Dardanelles?
Ten words? Ten words that are obscure, have real meaning in someone?s world or are slang phrases that need greater exposure. We have Dardalius to thank for the Ten Word challenge.

Why not try it yourself. The English language is delightfully both archaic and arcane.
THE STORY
We had a matter of disagreement last night; my long term partner and I. I always thought that she was aware of the verisimilitude of my condition (well the one ? Triskaidekaphobia ? that I can mention in polite circles ...
Advantages: None that I can think of Disadvantages: Expensive and over-rated
I was given a tube of this 'wonder cream' as a Christmas present from my in-laws just last Christmas. It sat inside my dressing table drawer until about three weeks ago, still in its original box/packaging etc, unused.
I don't know why it's taken me so long to open the box and read the 'instructions leaflet' and actually use the stuff - maybe I was having a 'premonition' about it?? I have to say, Clairins Beauty Flash Balm, or, as it states in the French (also on the packaging/tube) "Baume Beaute Eclair" has been probably THE most disappointing beauty product I have used, EVER!! I've used a lot during my years, but this stuff does not live up to the hype, so don't waste your money.
The tube I was given is a 50ml (1.7floz) size and I believe it costs somewhere in the region of £17.00 to £19.00 in major department stores. I ...
