Thanks for the quick reply. Good dictionaries for offline use, that's a real problem indeed. We have quite a few good dictionaries online to choose from these days. But when it comes to dictionaries available offline, I can hardly think of any that's really worth the trouble of looking up.
I'm afraid dictionaries like GCIDE and WordNet cannot compare with good online dictionaries in terms of reliability and consistency yet. I tried out a plugin that enables you to look up online dictionaries including oxforddictionaries.com (ref.vim and ref-dicts-en) but it was too sluggish (using lynx) and the search result was not easy to read.
Perhaps, I'm a bit too demanding sometimes, for, as you point out, Thesaurus.com provides basic meanings as well as a large number of synonyms and when used creatively a thesaurus could be a better guide for writing than a decent dictionary after all. And of course your personal drive is a matter of cardinal importance. Thanks anyway!

That would be great! Especially if working offline...
But I must admit that with Thesaurus_query.vim + Translate Shell + a script to acess https://tatoeba.org/eng/ , I haven't used a dictionary in a while.
