This a gui dictionary enter a word, press submit and it outputs name with tag and
the definition. I put in 2 checkbuttons for examples and lemma names. you control verbose.
You'll need nltk library and the nltk_data(use the handy downloader).
The main thing to improve is the first word look up takes some time
to load into memory(115,000 words i believe), other look ups are not an issue.
can I load the corpus in the init???
