A word with Wordie
Coming up here tomorrow a Q&A with Wordie creator John McGrath. Here's a sample of what you can expect:
Rainy Day: Which linguistic feature would you love to add to Wordie, if you had the time and resources?
John McGrath: "I plan on eventually adding an integrated spellchecker. Also I hope, in the not to distant future, to have definitions available from within Wordie — right now it links each word to a handful of dictionaries (as well as Wikipedia and Google), but I'd like to let visitors get definitions by, say, hovering over a word. I'm looking for a data source — if anyone reading this knows of an online dictionary with an API, email me :-) Hm, not sure those features are strictly linguistic, but they're what's on deck. Suggestions are always welcome."
Thanks, John. Tomorrow, here. The complete interview.
