The common spelling programs spell, ispell, pspell, aspell, and
MySpell (the latter used by OpenOffice.org) have dictionaries that
only know how to spell words, but never contain any explanations.
Is there any free source of dictionaries on a level between these
simple spelling dictionaries and the full encyclopedia? E.g. with
short dictionary-like explanations of each word?
