I translate a lot of handwritten text, often unclear, full of misspellings, etc., where it is impossible to determine a particular word, and where the surrounding context is of little help. I use Google and type in as much of the word as I can make out in order to receive the "Did you mean xxx?" statement. This often gives me what I am looking for, or at least a starting point of trying to figure out the word in question.

This is a trick I was taught by our resident Pole: Jack Wakes Kirk. No! whose new name is mentioned in Post #150511.

For example 'Define: anagram'

Any word, term or thing that you are uncertain about, use the 'define:' trick.

It certainly does. I rarely if ever use Google Danish. I use it only when researching the English equivalent of the sometimes incredibly made-up, compound words like for example: 'ulykkesbefordrende' which will get you three hits.

Great thread, Andreas.
