A "Guest" necro-bumperd this thread and you took the bait.
Oh well, as long as we're here I'll pose this question, "can Google Dictionary ever really die"? I say no, since it was never alive in the first place.
Nevertheless, or "sin embargo" as they say in Spanish, I'm sure it resides in the hearts and minds of all those lives it has touched with its goodness and grace.Its cyber spirit crawls the interweb which brought it forth from its very loins.I can say these thing with courage and conviction, as I personally have just returned from a seance wherein I reached out into the great cyber beyond, and summoned it to me. Typing the term "dictionary" into its grieving parent Google, I received about 101,000,000 responses in 0.14 seconds, from beyond the grave. The first of these was indeed http://www.merriam-webster.com/ which as it seems, has forgiven the little Google prodigal plagiarizer, and taken it into its bosom.
Now join me in an ancient tradition, and cheer loud and proud, in solidarity with me, "the dictionary is dead, long live the dictionary".........
(I'm also available for eulogies to someone's dearly departed Thanksgiving turkey. Although God knows, I bet not a one of you cares about the poor birds right to life issues, now do you)?
