    If only there was some kind of book, created decades ago, with a list of words, in alphabetical order, and what each word means in different contexts.

    If only such a book was added to a worldwide database that anyone can access from any kind of computer, so that anyone can use it at any time.

      What would we even call something like that? A book that helps with diction. I got it, a Dictionpedia.
