Sv: How to make Emacs popular again.

[arthur miller]

Whichever implementations you choose; I would just like to

say that having dictionaries in Emacs "by default" would be very

valuable and appreciated. If there could be some functionality to

find synonyms, antonynms, rhems and other stuff, that would be

really great. Pair that with Org andEmacs might be indispensable

for writers, bloggers etc.

I don't have much technical to add to the discussions, so I keep

myself off, I just wish to say that I dig the idea; and hope 28 gets

first class dictionary support. 🙂

What's so special about wiktionary that we should prefer it?  The
other free and PD dictionaries used by dict.org aren't of lower
quality, and sometimes much better.
