NYT Lookup Word Function

If I had a Category for pedantic.

I'm a fan of the NYT and I hope they survive the digital, economic and political storms currently jolting traditional media.

From the Khoi Vinh layouts to pedantic essays on grammar, the place is a readable refuge.

However... some of it's whizzbangery fails. Lookup Word is one of them.

This single click dictionary is meant to apply to single words. It has no awareness of Paste and Go, where I can select a whole paragraph and still be served up a Lookup Word prompt...


Fixing Interior

The result of that prompt is... our search [...] returned 0 results. Find more information about this topic at Answers.com.

Some additional wizzbangery is required that understands when a selection is more than one word.
