In celebration of the publishing of Samuel Johnson's Dictionary of the English Language on this date in 1755, I've selected Wiktionary as my wiki-of-the-day.Wiktionary is just one of the many projects run by the Wikimedia Foundation, which also runs Wikipedia, probably the most famous wiki of all. Wiktionary has 782,480 entries with English definitions. Wiktionary has grown beyond a standard dictionary. It now includes a thesaurus, a rhyme guide, phrasebooks, and language statistics. In addition to definitions, it includes entymologies, pronunciations, sample quotations, synonyms, antonyms, and translations.
If you're at a loss for the right words, then try out Wiktionary. Also, if you have a huge vocabulary with no problems completing crossword challenges, you might be challenged by the Wiktionary requested entries page. Today, think about lending a hand and contribute to this wiki project.
