Mac Os Bird Process

  • OS X comes with a list of all the words in Webster's 2nd International Dictionary (234,936 of them to be precise). These words can be found in the file /usr/share/dict/words.I find it useful to search this list if I'm not sure how spell a given word by using the following command.
  • Shows how to use Aspose.Words to programmatically convert a document to PDF from within a Java application on Mac OS. Demonstrates how to acquire Aspose.Word.

A .sit file containing the installer is located at words-1.97.sit [It should work with versions of OS X up to 10.7, though it might be necessary to install Rosetta, which comes with these versions of OS X but is not always installed by default. FOR versions 10.7 and later, try Erik Mendoza's Interpres.]

Installation/Execution

The installer package will place WORDS in your Applications folder.

Output

For each word entered, the program identifies all the possible interpretationsof the word, then, for each interpretation, makes an analysis of the word (part of speech, declension, conjugation, case, tense, voice, etc.) andgives the usual meaning of the root form. As an example, given the word'amas,' Words produces the following output:

Mac

This shows that 'amas' can be interpreted in two different ways:

1. as a noun (ama=bucket; first declension; feminine accusative plural; stem 'am', ending 'as'; principal parts ama, amae),

or

2. as a verb (amare=to love; first conjugation; second-person singular present active indicative; stem 'am', ending 'as'; principal parts amo, amare, amavi, amatus).
