Why is there no English dictionary supported in iOS9 for iPad 3 Safari?

I Just upgraded to iOS9 for my iPad 3 and when I highlight a word on a webpage in Safari and go to DEFINE it....there is NO MEANING FOUND...and when I go to MANAGE.....it is not possible for me to download either of the English dictionaries listed.

This seems like a major flaw. I tried using my Kindle app on this iPad and I can get all sorts of definitions for selected words including translations into other languages.....really slick. Not being able to get a simple, quick definition of a word on a webpage but rather having to copy and paste it into a separate dictionary app which I just downloaded, is a royal pain in the butt. Can this be remedied and is it a bug or what?

Thank you.

iPad (3rd gen) Wi-Fi, iOS 8.3

P.S. (Original poster here)....This issue goes for the Mail app as well....so I think it would be considered an iPad issue rather than a Safari issue....probably dealing with the apps that come included in the OS.
