Actually it references ten online lexical databases. Perhaps the most useful 
to those of us who try to articulate in the Queen's lexicon is the Princeton 
Word-Net http://www.cogsci.princeton.edu/~wn/ This one nearly always gives 
the British and well as the American meanings. I have found it useful and 
have the Kdict applet in the panel. Only found one glaring mistake so far. 
Give it a try, it's improved markedly in recent rears.
