I can't stop reading all the other stuff! I'm having a ball reading "8 words from Wodehouse"! What a great wit and user/inventor of words! I like his "Jeeves" character references. And the dictionary is quite useful and interesting, too. :^D There's much more to this app than just a dictionary/thesaurus!
