Please note: We have had a couple of requests to add the Oxford English Dictionary to this page but it is a site/resource that requires a subscription and a login. The goal of this wiki is to provide a list of FREE reference resources that do not require a paid subscription or for the user to be affiliated with the University of Florida in order to gain access.
