Is there a way to also implement an English dictionary? I find myself using vi more and more for all sorts of editing tasks, and with a dictionary (and thesaurus) implemented, I could easily give up stardict (and all its dependencies) and use vi from console for all my writing/editing needs. Many thanks !! :) The tip on how to use the moby thesaurus in vi was excellent!

Using 7.2, I get a "tag stack empty" error when I try to use it with C-x, C-t. I'm reluctant to go and create a huge tags file given the size of mthesaur.txt and that I'll only be using for text files, which is only a small number of times compared to doing programming. I don't want that 10M of tags memory being used when I'm writing python code. Anything else I should have done to get this working? Nice tip, thanks for the link to a thesaurus.
