Instructify

A lot of times, I’ll use a word knowing that it is the right one to use, but I have no idea what it actually means. Then, I’ll have to know the definition to make sure I’m not botching the word’s usage. It’s either off to the shelf to thumb through that heavy dictionary, risking paper cuts and muscle fatigue, or it’s time to search for the word on Google, Wikipedia or some other ad-filled site with unreliable content. Face it, it’s tough on the eyes and who has time for all that searching!?! Well, not me, friends.

Definr is a tool designed to cut down on the time it takes to define a word and eliminates all the clutter that comes with online searching. Just start typing in the entry field and Definr will bring up a list of suggested words you might like defined, so you don’t even really know how to fully spell the word to get the right definition. If you are a Firefox user (which, hopefully, you are) then you can quickly install Definr right into your search engine bar. It really doesn’t get much easier than this when it comes to quickly defining words, nor do dictionary mascots get any cuter. — JEREMY S. GRIFFIN
