We are designing a new system which will unite them all into one universal dictionary for all languages. The universal dictionary will be soon available for free under GPL."

    "The universal dictionary will be soon available for free under GPL."

    And for a convenience, it will automatically correct your spelling as follows:

    • Linux --> GNU/Linux
    • Microsoft --> Micro$oft
    • Bill Gates --> Convicted monopolist
    • Steve Ballmer --> Monkey-boy

    Yeah, yeah. Of course I have heard that before. On the other hand, I also keep correspondance with people from around the world, meet with local esperantists for coffee or dinner at least weekly, read magazines and books in esperanto, and listen to esperanto radio(music and talk shows) fairly often. So the several million speakers of esperanto and I tend to disagree with you. Your opinion, while I agree with your right to have it, is uninformed.

    i think the idea is to consolodate those down into one so you can use one site as apposed to three or how ever many you happen to use

    For crying out loud, the man gave you 3 direct links to dictionaries! : )
