And not with all words either.
I'm not sure I like that dictionary really - I had to block one popup,
deny one cookie, and block 4 ads before I could submit a query. I
typed in 'standard', and was presented with a long list of standard
things, so I just clicked one at random: 'standard deviation'. Led to
a page without a sound icon. "next" was 'standard English', which gave
a sound icon for 'standard'. I clicked it... American pronounciation!
