This list is by no means comprehensive. I include only quality websites with big and/or focused glossaries.
Remarks:
1) ***** means "featured" or "one of the best". It does not mean "sponsored". To see a complete list of featured websites click here
2) Comments are subjective. Webmasters should not mind my criticism - if the site is listed here, it means that I recommend it!
