Presenting: The really, really incredibly, ridiculously open-source "FreeTalk Dictionary"

Zoolander throwbacks aside, this is a complete OS dictionary dataset (prompt-engineered).

This dataset is a lean V1.0 and definitely a few "content bugs".

If this is your thing, I’d love contributors: feedback on UX, content bugs, PRs to improve the dataset, etc!

It's the first item in a larger suite of English language learning products I'm building.

Which English is this written in? American English?
