RE:Leuke potjes vandaag
There are roughly 1,000 to over 1,500 Arabic-derived words used in the English language. The Oxford English Dictionary documents more than 900 English words borrowed directly from Arabic, while some linguists estimate the true number of English words with Arabic roots exceeds 7,000 due to indirect or historical translations

RE:Google accused of pushing 'free for life' G Suite users onto paid plans
Lifetime Funny how the word 'Lifetime' seems to be so very flexible in corporate land. The dictionary says "the period of time during which someone lives or something exists". Whereas in corporate land 'lifetime' is "the period of time in which we can stay profitable", or " the lifetime of a mayfly", or "until we get bought" or whatever else they want it to be.

Built a dictionary plugin for Supernote: lasso a word, get its definition, all on-device
Built a dictionary plugin for Supernote, Sharing it here. It runs entirely on-device: no companion app, no cloud, no network at lookup time and surfaces real WordNet definitions for handwritten or PDF words from inside the Notes / PDF reader (Documents). What it does Lasso a word in your notes : handwritten or already-recognised. Tap **Lookup** in the lasso toolbar. The plugin runs the firmware's stroke recogniser (`recognizeElements`), feeds the result into the on-device dictionary, and pops up the definition. Saved-and-reloaded handwriting and recognised titles work too, not just freshly-drawn strokes. Select text in a PDF : drag-select a word in the document reader's text-selection mode, tap Lookup in the selection toolbar, same popup. Real WordNet content : 149,535 entries from Princeton WordNet 2.x, BSD-style license. Multiple senses per word, part-of-speech labels, synonyms, example sentences. Bundled inside the `.snplg` (~17MB) — no network at lookup time. Structured popup : every sense gets its own block: a \noun* / *verb* / *adjective* / *adverb\** badge, a numbered sense, the definition, italic example sentences in curly quotes, and a `Synonyms:` line. Multi-sense entries (e.g. "AI" — Army Intelligence vs. artificial intelligence vs. three-toed sloth vs. artificial insemination) are scannable at a glance instead of buried in a wall of text. Bilingual UI chrome : the plugin name on the plugin manager card, the Lookup toolbar label, and every popup label localise into Simplified Chinese, Traditional Chinese, Japanese, Thai, and Dutch based on your device locale. The dictionary content stays English; the surrounding chrome doesn't. Case and whitespace-insensitive : "Anatomy", "anatomy", and " ANATOMY " all hit the same entry. Demo v1.0.1 Demo By design the plugin is pure read it never modifies the page, never deletes strokes, never inserts text. Lookup is a side-effect-free overlay; close it and your note is exactly as you left it. A few things to know: - First lookup after a fresh plugin-host process takes ~30–60 seconds. Hermes parses the embedded base64 dictionary, decodes it, gunzips the StarDict, and builds the index. Once parsed, every subsequent lookup is instant for the rest of the session. The beauty of it is it is completely Offline! You dont need to connected to the net! - For PDFs, you need to be in the firmware's text-selection mode (a separate icon in the document toolbar) — selecting with the pen draws strokes instead. Once you're in the right mode, Lookup appears in the standard selection toolbar alongside Copy / Highlight. - English content only in this v1.0.1 base. A converter is planned that will let users bring their own StarDict / MDX / CSV / JSON dictionary packs (medical, legal, bilingual, etc.) and emit a custom `.snplg` that replaces the base. Tested on Nomad.

When things like this occur I genuinely wonder whether the people who work at Google are happy that they have had to remove a brilliant feature. Does no one who works at Google ever ask the search engine for synonyms, to find alternate definitions, or to ask for an etymology and it be actually reliable instead of AI hallucinations?

Could someone recommend a good dictionary that isn't bloated with superfluous nonsense? I got the 2024 Oxford English Dictionary 2nd ed and I despise it.
Everytime I look up a word I am hit with a huge history lesson. Since my ereader doesn't have buttons I can't accurately scroll thru the definition line by line. What ends up happening is I fat finger it and jump all around the definition landing on a random connotation. I don't care about the etymology or even the pronunciation... I just want the meanings.
