I don't know any sane person that likes to look up words in a dictionary. Personally, when I need to I like the act to be quick as possible. Merriam-Webster has a USB flash drive that comes with the full Merriam-Webster dictionary and thesaurus as well as additional programs as well. Other applications include a grammar guide, Confusables function (alerts you to problems with things like there and their usage), crossword puzzle solver and an eBooks and eNews manager. The MSRP of the dictionary is $49.95.
