They give you an option for your name, such as whether you want a name based on beauty, wealth, knowledge etc. All you have to do is enter your full name and gender and it creates it for you.
I did mine ages ago and it came out as Mao Kang Ren, which I now use whenever I talk to a Chinese exchange student.
Hope you enjoy your new name!
Be aware though, that your name will change every time you do it as different words have different meanings, so play around with it until you're happy."
maj-len replied: "Names cannot be translated to some other language, especially not Chinese. Languages similar to English have many times names that are same or resemble some names in English, but to translate a name, especially a name of a language that has no roots in the English language is just not possible."
When placing a definition in a college essay from dictionary.com...? In a personal essay I am writing for a college English I have placed the definition for clinical depression in the introductory paragraph. How do I reference the definition to dictionary.com? Do I place the web site at the end of the definition? Something like ? By the way there is no work sited page for this essay; our professor is not requiring it.
Arby replied: "Probably the easiest and most direct is to say "According to an online dictionary found at http:.." and provide the rest of the reference. Footnotes are acceptable, but it doesn't sound like your application is sufficiently formal. If you have allowed yourself time, ask your professor where to find the appropriate form. He'll likely be glad you bothered to check with him, and tell you how to do it or tell you how to find out how to do it to his satisfaction. Remember that instructors are there to teach you, not to trick you, so find out how the professors want it done. It is entirely possible that different instructors might expect different reference styles, in spite of all the "MLA" type guidelines available. MLA is Modern Language Association used mostly for language arts. Other specialties use other forms. If the instructor has specified a set of guidelines, USE the guidelines."
Is there a dictionary website that will email you a word of the day from a customized word list? I know that many dictionary sites such as or provide a "word of the day" feature but I'm looking for something a bit more tailored. I am looking for a website that will after allowing you to look up words to add those words to a customized word list and then they will "push" or e-mail a different word to you with the definition from your word list each day.
Mickey D replied: "I never heard of such a site and I do not believe it exists."
Is there a dictionary website for Google? I know that is provided by Ask.com. I was wondering if there's one for Google as well?
Laura C replied: "http://www.google.com/dictionary"
darrenew replied: "Laura C is right
but you can also
type in the normal google search box:
define:whatever you want to define
Here is an Example:
define:hotog"
Did you know the word "gullible" is not in the dictionary? It can be found at but not in paper dictionaries.
How many of you either checked your dictionary or are planning on checking in the near future?
