Simple 'dict' function.

I use http://www.thefreedictionary.com/ on a daily basis. I've got a
bookmark in my GUI browser to access the site quickly. However, today
I realized that my searches are in the form URL/word_I_want_to_look_up
and I thought that it could be much more handy and faster to use a CLI
browser like elinks (one of my favourites) or lynx.
So I wrote a very simple function to ease my searches:
dict ()
{
URL="http://www.thefreedictionary.com"
BROWSER="lynx"
$BROWSER ${URL}/${1}
}
Now I just have to type: dict word_I_want_to_look_up and enjoy
