I don't know what you mean by an english to english dictionary.

If you just want the definition of a word you can always look it up at www.dictionary.com

If you just want a spell checker then take a look at:

or the ancient but still very widely used

acid_kewpie · 02-05-2002, 05:46 AM

oh it's ok drunk woman.. if you get confused therion will help you out... lovely.

ahh you really miss out on the fine points of the english language. i don't really think there's anything suitable in the US vocab that can match up to a decent english....

Bugger is something im sure you are familiar with, its main and correct meaning is the act of sodomy.
