WordWeb is a very useful application as a complete dictionary and thesaurus to look for words in several varieties of english language such as British english, American english, International english, Australian english, etc. and is also very useful for correcting misspellings.
The application takes care of looking for the desired word all over the web resources: Wikipedia, Wiktionary, WordWeb Online, acquired directly using the Internet Explorer engine, and shows results for part of compound nouns, word definition, related words, synonimous, etc.
User can set bookmarks for customizing searches and set filters such as for slang language (so those words will not be displayed), flag or hide ofensive words set that only root words will be shown, etc.
The easy to use interface allows quick access to all the application features. User can add words to the thesaurus dictionary and copy word meanings to the clipboard for later use, as well as add words to custom glossaries.
