I know - every native speaker stepping by here immediately starts to cry. But you need to know - the first thing I always did, when the new school year started, was to figure out how many days I can cut classes without getting expelled and to search for dates when it really makes sense to be ‘unexpected’ ill in bed. Loveparade, MayDay, Rock am Ring, Roskilde for example…

Well, I had my fun but my English skills (and lots of other skills you normally learn in school - if present) have been the prime mourners. Thats why I can’t live without the Dictionary.app. It’s the most often used app of mine. 95% of all mails (and I’ve to answer hundreds of them on a daily basis) require me trying to write something that may be inadvertently interpreted as something kinda English…

So I’ve written a small tool that automatically launches Dictionary.app, and if needed - defining the word copied before to clipboard by Global Hotkey. Thats all it does. But it is so time saving for me - maybe one of you could use it as well…
