Aside from the RAE this is only dictionary I use (aside from my physical dictionaries).
Wow, way to go , jeezle
Well I checked out that dictionary but I can't say I liked it much.
Check out what makes ours great: Type "cuenta" into both search engines and what do you get?
Yours has a few things, namely "caer en la cuenta" = to realize and dar a cuenta to give on account
But you see how it is missing "darse cuenta de"?
Really what's more said "Me caí en la cuenta de........" or "me di cuenta de........."?
Ours is quick, easy, important parts bolded, links to phrasebook underneath..... and the verbs are all conjugated on the bottom. Aside from the RAE this is only dictionary I use (aside from my physical dictionaries).
But to each their own I guess.
Now try "querer" in both dictionaries, yours has tons of typos and stuff like this: hacer ALGO queriendo to do STH deliberately, do STH on purpose . What is STH? Something? It doesn't even list "sin querer" for accidentally. That's what's great about ours, you can type in a word and see how it is used.
