cool stuff on nytimes.com

Written on August 5, 2008. Written by lorene.

I was just reading an article on nytimes.com and there was a word I had never seen before (putsch). I went to copy it to put into m-w.com to look up the definition…when something cool happened. Another window opened up with the definition of putsch.  Apparently when you double click on a word on the site it opens up a reference query search. I love this. I wish I could do this with print books.

FYI here is the definition of putsch.

putsch also Putsch (pʊch) pronunciation
n.

A sudden attempt by a group to overthrow a government.

[German, from German dialectal, from Middle High German, thrust, of imitative origin.]
