• Show HN: I converted my notebook into a searchable database of IT keywords

  Good job! What you could do is have a whole bunch of different lookup links, behind words instead of buttons, so it isn't mystery meat navigation. Like how Onelook has "Google, News, Images, Wikipedia, Reddit, BlueSky". https://onelook.com/?w=mystery+meat+navigation&loc=rel_phrase. - Source: Hacker News / 7 days ago

• Seeking Riveting TV Series Recommendations - Unleash the Mystery!

  Resident Alien. But not sure why I'm even answering when your suggestions were sub-par and the furthest thing from 'riveting' - try looking that word up on onelook.com bc I think that word doesn't mean what you think it means. Source: almost 2 years ago

• I have the most annoying issue every time I write, is there anything to help with it?

  It's frustrating! There's not much you can do other than scan through lists of words similar to the one you want and see if it jumps out at you. Online thesauruses, onelook.com, and reverse dictionaries are all helpful. Source: about 2 years ago

  List of ie words sorted by commonness: https://onelook.com/?w=*ie*&scwo=1&sswo=1&ssbp=1 Not sure I'd be in a rush to say "aye" was the default pronunciation. At best it may be marginally the single most common one. - Source: Hacker News / over 2 years ago

• What are your go-to resources?

  Personally, OneLook Dictionary is my life's blood; especially the thesaurus version. Writer Duet is also great for screenwriting if you are like me and don't have the brain to remember the formatting (plus I think you can collab with other people on it, like G_Docs? I can't remember). Source: over 2 years ago

• What dictionary site do you use?

  For personal use by learners, OALD is as good a dictionary as any; I also cite Macmillan, Collins COBUILD, or Longman. They aren't freely licensed, so you can't republish or re-use their entries, but they're free at the point of delivery, and you can use sites like Wordnik or OneLook to search multiple online dictionaries at once.

• Pronounce GIF · the Correct Way, Without Question

  I'm confused by the "Front Vowels" argument, since it doesn't seem to hold particularly well for /ɪ/ (the "i" in gif). I took a look at onelook for all "gi" words, sorted by commonness [1]. Out of the first 30 words I count using the /ɪ/ sound, I see: 18 with a Hard G (gift, gig, gill, gilt, gigabyte, give, gibbous, gild, git, giggle, gingham, ginkgo, giddy, gimlet, gibbon, gifted, gimp, gimmick) * 12 with... - Source: Hacker News / almost 3 years ago

• Not a teen, but found this chart and thought it may help people when writing

  I often use onelook.com's reverse dictionary for this purpose. I can type in "sad and disgusted" and get words like: desolate, sick, sullen, aghast, appalled, crushed, devastated, heartstricken, etc... There is a lot of junk to weed through because it casts a wider net than a thesaurus, and I can type in a description of what I'm looking for, then hone in on it. Source: about 3 years ago

• I really need help finishing this puzzle for my friends. I'm tearing my hair out over things like making PSY, but the M and T-CELL in the way. If I put a square there I make a 2 letter answer. LO??AY is an issue because of H?O????E which I don't even know if there's a word for
