Dr Johnson would approve..or would he?

Wordnik looks like a great little site that has just been launched in Beta.

It is essentially a bit of a combination between a wiki and a dictionary. It aims to keep up with language as it evolves via crowd sourced references definitions and importantly contextual feeds. So if you type in a word it brings back a variety of definitions, references, pronounciations. It pulls in statistics both historical and real time, pulls examples off twitter and blogs etc and looks like a nice experiment.



I couldn't help but reference the infamous episode of Blackadder with Robbie Coltrane as Dr. Johnson.
