Does anyone know the difference in nuance between 依存(いぞん),
依頼(いらい) and 頼る(たよる).
I think 依頼 involves requesting (maybe to a superior) while 依存 is
maybe a little stronger? Usually I hear に頼ってる in casual speech.

By the way, should the Japanaese title be changed to に依存? The ro-maji
and Kanji don't match. (contributor: blabby)

依頼 means 'to request.'
依存 means 'to rely upon'
頼る means 'to depend on' or 'count on'
依存 is stronger than 頼る (contributor: bamboo4)

in the WWWJDIC, there are two pronunciation for 依存: 'いぞん' or
'いそん'. Why do you have only one in the title of this grammar entry?
