Merriam-Webster Online

Merriam-Webster Online

Why blogging about an English-English dictionary site (not even a French-English dictionary ;-))?
Because you can hear how to pronounce words! and it is really great.
It is very useful when preparing a talk or when debating with other people on this subject (a few years ago I discussed with one of my colleagues on how to pronounce finite and infinite).

a nice site! one of my favorites...

http://www.m-w.com will take you there!

how would you say archive? or parameter? or hierarchical? those are among my favorites!

you can also find a similar feature in the NYtimes articles...( http://www.nytimes.com ) when you double click on a word (not on the front page though)...

give it a try!
