Comments on: Intel Centrino Duo…The Pun is Not Lost in Translation /the-intel-centrino-duothe-pun-is-not-lost-in-translation/ You don't know a language, you live it.

I generally use the Super日本語大辞典. It’s convenient because all look-ups can be done with either one keystroke (hotkey) or automatically from the clipboard. There are, I imagine, newer and better software dictionaries out there, but this one works well enough for me. I supplement it with online dics.

I’ve been looking for a good online, free Japanese-Japanese dictionary to use but I can’t seem to find the one you keep using. I’ve checked the links on the side of your page but none of them seem to display it in the same format… Are you using a program or something? Thanks and keep up the good work!
