      READING WITH COMPREHENSION

      answers_logo_tm2.gif As an aid to readers of Lexiphane.com, I recently added some code to the site that makes it "AnswerTips" enabled.

      AnswerTipsTM are small information bubbles that define any word when double-clicked. An AnswerTips-enabled site or blog means visitors get fast facts on 4 million topics provided by Answers.com when they double-click on any word, without opening a new browser or following outbound links. AnswerTips deliver instant definitions, explanations and facts including biographies, tech terms, geography, pop culture and much more.

      Go ahead; click on some words you'd like to clarify or find more about (highlight multiple-word terms before clicking). What's a camera obscura? Where is Formosa? What are the ingredients in a Rob Roy cocktail? Let me know what you think about the new addition. I'm always trying to add small things that make your visits to Lexiphane.com more enjoyable.

      Sadly, Milton Street does not have an entry in Answers.com. But other than that mild disappointment, this is awesome.

      I'm surprised to hear that because the web is brimming with MS pages. I found this one extremely entertaining.
