"From Dutch-English Freedict Dictionary ver. 0.1.3 [fd-nld-eng]"

I include the XLANG-to-english packages, so I can get a feel for where
words came from sometimes.

I get nothing like the same output:

$ dict ipso facto
No definitions found for "ipso", perhaps you mean:

  FACTO. In fact, in contradistinction to the lawfulness of the thing; it is
  applied to anything actually done. Vide Ex Post Facto.

  Facto \Fac"to\, adv. [L., ablative of factum deed, fact.] (Law)
     In fact; by the act or fact.

  ipso facto

So no ipso for the facto on an "ipso facto" dict, but the fact of facto only;
whilst factually only "ipso facto" definition output, for dict search
fact result-o of "dict ipso\\ facto".
I must not have tried hard no, with the dict back-slash yo!

Hanging my head in shame oh, oh the shame oh the shame oh!

Perhaps *it's getting pretty old* now-o ?

Thanks all,
