art­icles are finally read­able without affect­ing your (my) san­ity. I tend to have trouble focus­sing, so I high­light text as I read it. I also tend to click ran­domly and incess­antly.

It’s unne­ces­sary because Mac OS X has a system-wide built-in dic­tion­ary panel thingie.

Any­way, that blight is gone. What hap­pens now is a taste­ful ques­tion mark icon appears, which can then be clicked to reveal that frus­trat­ing pop up win­dow (or ignored if you prefer).
