The online version also has good usage notes taken from other dictionaries.<br /><br />But sometimes I like to check in several dictionaries, which is really easy with my dictionary gadget at the top of the page. You can just cycle through them.<br /><br />Wordnik and the Entymology Dictionary, to name but two, can be very interesting.
