Patreon is exactly what allows this site to be free of Nissan Murano ads and other outside interests compromising the content. It's the best system for sustaining this site I can think of.
Agreed, although politics does extend to dictionaries, which is why I don't recommend Merriam-Webster. They've started redefining words according to radical post-modern trends that don't represent the majority of usage cases. That's a can of worms though...
“They do not want you to be able to own/read any of their intellectual property unless you continue to pay them, over and over for the privilege to do so.” Really? Raptitude and the 500+ articles in its archives are free, and obviously I do want people to read them. Patreon...
Thanks for this. There are definitely better electronic alternatives than dictionary.com, but none provide quite the clean offline experience of a dedicated paper book, simply because connected (or even offline) devices all have other functions that compete for our attention.
Haha! Language is so amazing. There's nothing I would like in the world more than to be able to speak and read every language. I feel like you'd understand human beings completely if you could see all the angles language takes on describing life.
