The unabridged version of Merriam Wbster is not free.

Btw, buying a Brittanica subscription direct is $9 cheaper than AOL's price.

AOL grants their subscribers free access to: "The New Oxford Dictionary of
English", the first dictionary of British English online, exclusively for AOL.
This new dictionary from Oxford, the leading authority on the English language,
is designed to reflect the way language is used today. Offering a fresh and
different approach, it contains numerous encyclopedic entries, notes on
grammar, and help with questions of usage. The New Oxford Dictionary of English
is also available in print.
