[calcaneous]

Normally, I just use "www.answers.com" to look up the definition of the word that I don't know. Sometimes I even go to "www.m-w.com" to find out how a certain word is pronounced by native speakers. Both websites are quite useful. However, they lack word examples. Does anyone know any online dictionaries that have lots of word examples in them?

Try ONE LOOK DICTIONARY SEARCH. It looks your word up in 975 dictionaries simultaneously. There's bound to be some samples in there somewhere.
