Looks like the Great Firewall or something like it is preventing you from completely loading www.skritter.com because it is hosted on Google App Engine, which is periodically blocked. Try instead our mirror:

This might also be caused by an internet filter, such as SafeEyes. If you have such a filter installed, try adding appspot.com to the list of allowed domains.

Should one add tons of words from MDBG?

I generally refer MDBG to look up a word and will try *word* operator search on MDBG for that word and feel like adding all the words which seem logical derivations from the word.
Is it a good way to learn new words ? Or am i doing it all wrong?
Should i never add words which I don't read in context to Skritter ?

Views???

I used to do exactly this and it was a disaster. MDBG has all sorts of questionable entries that are going to confuse you and bog down your studies. It's much better to learn items in context so you know how to use them in a sentence.

No, don't do it.

Add only what you need. If you're really tempted, then add those other words to a text file or Skritter list. You can sprinkle them in when you feel it's more appropriate.

thanks for the inputs guys.
Will try not to add too much.

I didn't realize MDBG has questionable entries. What's the reason behind that?
