Cool, thanks.

I don't know if you looked but dictionary.com has an API but they appear to be selective on who can use it. I sent them an email to see how/if we can use it. This might (should be) a better option than cut up that HTML.

I've come across a couple of services providing APIs, but they require personal API keys, which makes it more difficult to use. If the API of dictionary.com doesn't require a key, it might be a good idea to switch to it.

Ok I'll let you know what I find out however I suspect dictionary.com will be the same (personal API keys, etc.)
