I'm not sure if this is made clear--since it confused me at first--but that's not just limited to Safari.



It's the little things like this that I really, really love about OS X.

Everything Dictionary-related I've seen in Tiger just makes my heart melt. Sooo nice.

0 10 20 30 40 50 60 70 80 90 100

It's probably just a fluke in the Oxford dictionary Tiger uses. All the numbers have definitions when spelled out, but somehow it regognizes 15 and "fifteen" as the same thing whereas it doesn't for the rest of the numbers.
