Well taken, but where do you go to look up
information that has not yet been put into your dictionaries?
As just one example, let me cite an article in
our local newspaper which defined the Etymology
of the word "Podcasting" and also defined it.
It's probably not yet in any published
dictionaries, but there are 108 citations under Metacrawler.
