How does it work?

We should not refer people to someone else's server as the first,
recommended way of looking up words in a dictionary.
The first option should be referring to a dictionary
on your own machine. It should support the formats that
are widely used.
I don't mind if it also has the ability to talk to servers,
but that should be the last resort, not the first choice!
