Started 1 month ago by prr
Every time I post in the English forum, I see a little section just above where I type my question, that asks me to define a term or two, use it in a sentences, etc. I would like to know more about this--does this site maintain an online dictionary or usage guide of some kind?

You are right, jann. What I described doesn't miss the mark, ahem, so much, but yours hit the nail on the head.
