American Heritage Dictionary

Sometimes I need to check an (American) English description, proverb or phrase. So far, regular dictionaries have helped quite a lot, but sometimes the expressions are tough to find.

But helpfully, The American Heritage Dictionary of the English Language is here, and I also found it on the Internet, by chance actually.

The link itself is a bit out of the ordinary, but no matter; the site works though it's a bit slow. But slow is so much better than non-existent!
