hm, I can't seem to get sdcv to actually do anything besides say "Nothing similar to , sorry :(". Followed the instructions provided and have the Collaborative dictionary installed, but doesn't seem to do anything?
The ability to find synonyms and approximate searches would definitely be nice. Downside of a physical dictionary is that it only helps when I'm close to the initial stem of the word. Some words are a real struggle for me to connect sound to letter.
