From: Sandy Fleming [sandy at scotstext.org]
Subject: "Online resources"

I've added the OSD (Andy Eagle's Online Scots Dictionary) to
ScotsteXt as a link just below the main texts menu, and I've
been trying it out to see how it fares against the words found
in the ScotsteXt texts.

The verdict is that I'm totally amazed at the number of words
in it, the accuracy of the definitions, and its ability to cope
with spelling variants.

A link to this dictionary is definitely a must for any Scots
language websites - you can pick up the necessary HTML from Andy's
site at http://www.scots-online.org/
