Leximo is project started by two college students at The George Washington University. The idea for Leximo was spurred by the current outdated and obsolete selection of dictionaries on the web, which included dictionaries that were too academic or too cluttered and most importantly lacked “user interaction.”
Feeling the urge to solve this dilemma, we decided to create a dictionary that would bring together the world’s cultures and languages by invoking the interactivity of today’s information age.
Leximo is a world dictionary” that invites users to submit words in every spoken language of the world. Since each word can be submitted by multiple users, definitions can vary widely in quality and thus other users can rank these definitions, so that the most popular definitions appear first.
