This dictionary server is not an authoratative source of information for anything. Like almost everything at sorabji.com, I set this up for my own purposes. In this case the purpose is to  
browse words and ideas at random. An automatically generated page that produces Random Words 
is my gateway to this resource. Below is a list of some of my favorite words discovered here. I also have attempted a word of a day type of thing, in which I 
try to craft stories around words that I find through the Wordswarm Random Words Page. I have also begun a project of posting the complete 1828 Webster's Dictionary, which many feel is the greatest English dictionary ever published.







Other random links of mine include the Sorabji.com Random Link, which sends you to one of 
over 7,000 pages on my web sites; the Face Server produces random images of 
human faces; clicking the Random WAYD link shows you a random posting to my "What Are You Doing?" board; the Random USPS 
Mailbox link sends you to a page with information about a random mailbox; and the random pictures page page of sorabji.com shows one of over 11,000 random images any time you load the page. On an unrelated note, I have begun making several thousand pages of legal documents searchable.
