There is an Oxford English Dictionary in Mac OS. To use the dictionary we had to go to dashboard or launch the Dictionary application from the applications. (Or there is a shortcut in previous macs control+Command+d). But now in Leopard you can simply type the word you want to know in spotlight and there it is with the meaning! Just hover over the item and you will see the meaning or just click on it and it will launch the dictionary.

You can also go to the preferences menu in the Dictionary app, and tell it to give you definitions just by right-clicking on words without even opening the app itself. I use it a lot. Especially when reading stuff on the Internet or some book in PDF. I highlite the word I don’t know, then select Look un in Dictionary, and it pops up like magic.
