I personally love this double-click-to-open-a-dictionary-window feature and I wonder if I can do the same thing, say, when someone double click a word on my blog a new dictionary.com window will open with the word’s usage in it. That would be great!

One man’s treasure, I suppose. I guess there’s no getting it right for everybody. Still, I couldn’t help but be impressed that they catered so well to the exact way I use the site.

I usually get annoyed with their doublclick feature. When I double click on a word, it’s usually to highlight it or to recenter my viewing on a page. The pop up window that comes up just ends up being annoying for this reason.
