You are welcome! Little programs like this really make the linux experience
wonderful! One of the drawbacks of dict is that there is no way (I think)
to search for idioms. For example, I cannot search for

$ dict "a bird in hand is worth two in the bush"

For those kind of things I use www.wiktionary.org . Install google's toolbar
in iceweasel and add a custom search for wiktionary, wikipedia for more
quicker way of finding about stuff.
