Wordsmiths
Have you ever searched far and wide for the definition of a word only to come up empty-handed? Even with a glut of reference materials on the Web, the task can be terribly time consuming. That's why the creator of glossarist.com has compiled a "compendium of glossaries on various subjects so you can find the best definitions of terms you are interested in." The site's arranged in easy-to-browse categories. Click around and find fascinating glossaries devoted to obscure subjects like debt consolidation, juggling, and classical archaeology. Or use the search box to find a specific subject. If you can't find it here, you're just not looking hard enough.
