Hi Soroush

yeah this one is s-l-o-w -almost a whole minute to complete a lookup.
Unacceptable ;)

here's another:

very fast from here- 'course I'm on a hi-speed DSL connection in the U.S.,
where these servers are located- you're across the ocean..

Here's a link in the UK for a 1911 edition of Roget's Thesaurus- mebbe even
better than a dictionary for our purposes- check out what it lists for
"weary"

Hey- perhaps homeoint.org oughtta put one or more old dictionaries up-
'specially an old MEDICAL dictionary !

I'm going to suggest it..
