Well this morning we went to Matt's seminary orientation. It lasted until about 2pm, and (sad to say) was mostly boring. A good deal of it was going over how to use the library's online search functions and their online course supplement stuff, which we had already figured out. But it was worth it in terms of making connections with other

OS X comes with a Dictionary/Thesarus Widget. This is nice as it doesn't require an internet connection as it's dictionary is stored locally. I've found that http://www.google.com/mac is a better way of searching for Mac stuff, if you aren't using that already.

If he doesn't like the built in Dictionary, Merriam Webster has a decent one that pronounces words as well: http://www.macupdate.com/info.php/id/20686

If he doesn't want to use a Widget (say for example he doesn't want to constantly switch between his other windows and Dashboard), in the Applications folder there is a Dictionary App that everyone forgets about :) The cool thing about it is that unlike it's widget it'll suggest words when you've made a typo.

If you need any more info than that gimme a poke and I'll search around a wee bit more.
