Personally, I absolutely would not.... and especially not 'embedded', Messenger is already going in the bloated way more than enough...

If I want to know the meaning of a word I would quickly google it (which would be just as fast... and probably more accurate as you can look up the word in multiple places). EDIT: see what Volv said...

It is not like you would use such a tool everyday and in every sentence. If it was, it would indeed maybe be a bit more usefull. But for the very rare occasions that a word is used which needs looking up (and you can't simply ask your contact the meaning), I don't find such a thing usefull. As I said, the novelty would wear off very quick.

But that's my opinion though, and I have been wrong more than once in the past ;)

But if anybody wants to make it, by all means do it (...properly :p)...
