Merriam-Webster Online Adds Direct Links to Microsoft's Live.com for Each Definition

Merriam-Webster Dictionary Adds Direct Links to Live.com for All Entries
It appears that in the past few weeks, Merriam-Webster has added direct links below each dictionary definition to Microsoft's Live.com.

Here's an example for the word communication and the word trumpet. You'll also find (in most cases) direct links to portions of articles from Encyclopaedia Britannica. Health related terms also offer direct links to entries from Healthline. These sources can also be found at the bottom of thesaurus entries.
