Online Dictionaries

I visit dictionary.com several times a day when I'm writing -- I'm kind of addicted to looking up the exact definitions of words.  (Did you know that "ravel" and "unravel" have the same definition?  This thrills me.) 

But lately I've been getting really annoying pop-under ads when I click anywhere on a dictionary.com page.  Um, no thanks!  I need a different solution.

What online dictionary do you use?


UPDATE:  Henry, our hero, found an opt-out for the pop-unders!  Hooray!

I use m-w but it has its own pop-up ad and memory suck issues...

I usually use answers.com, which I like because typing answers.com/word in the location bar takes you directly to the word.

Just used answers.com to look up "haggard". I'm liking it!

Oh, nice, I might have to move to answers.com too!
