The best all-round search engine on the web.
Excite UK
Which has an adult content filter.
Invisible Web
Useful for information that you just can't find with a normal search engine.
Internet Movie Database
The IMDB is the only place to go if you want to find out about any at all, no matter how obscure. Simply unrivalled.
Bartleby
Online classic literature. Search the bible, search the world factbook, search volumes of poetry, search almost any book you like, ask it how to pronounce the author's name, then follow the handy links to Amazon.com and buy your own copy.
American/British Dictionary
This is lovely! An American / British Dictionary but with so much more. Lots of windows and a truly eccentric author, this is packed with anecdotes, a very useful pronunciation guide, as well as all you need to know to figure out that peculiar post from the shipmate across the pond.
World Wide Words
"Investigating international English from a British viewpoint." Another packed wordy site. A little more erudite than the first and possibly easier to navigate. Find out the origins of such phrases as "all mouth and trousers" and learn about such words as Cyberchondria, as well as all those phrases that Shakespeare invented.
