English is my second language and there are times that I have to look for the meaning of the word I don't know. So what do you use, is it a Dictionary Book or Dictionary Online? Which is more helpful to you?

i am using the dictionary books. i happen to have quite a number of them. i also keep a thesaurus. it is very helpful in giving me the words which have the same meaning. it is very helpful in writing something which will require the use of different words with the same meaning. at times, i want to know the opposite word of a word and the thesaurus can also give ti to me fast.

when i was young and computer is not heard of at that time in our place, i used the plain old fashion dictionary book. but as i grew up and i find my self facing the computer more often, doing a research paper or a discussion paper, oline dictionary is the one i use. this is because this is much more easier than a dictionary book and much faster. by just writing or highlighting a word, you can easily get the meaning out of that word by just a clcik with my mouse. but even so, i still keep my dictionary book in my shelves since we will never know when we can use it again.
