English Dictionary

I used to do this thing where I would open to a random page of a dictionary and write down all the words I didn't know. Losing them in random pages of notebooks I would rarely return to wasn't all that helpful for retention but having them in searchable, digital, form will, I hope, be much better. That is all that this is. It is a cool exercise though so I recommend trying it out! You might even be able to find something here you didn't know.
