Words R Us is the result of many years of research and development by Universities around the world. In 1985 a group of psychologists and linguists began to develop a "lexical database." which became known as "Wordnet" - the basis of machine translation systems.
Since its inception many papers and academic implementations of Wordnet have been published and a few commercial sites have been implemented, but Words R Us is unique in its simplicity, its portability, and the inclusion of many terms and concepts not found in earlier systems. More about Words R Us
