Do you still consult your dictionary?

i dont use the dictionary anymore...but i do is i use the synonyms on msword...from there i just guess what it means since the synonymous words are already my clue.

I just consult online dictionary or the encarta dictionary installed in my computer. I no longer consult that actual and much too heavy dictionary at home.

hi mari!! yes, i do still. only thing is that its been transformed into online one. i am frequent visitor in meriam-webster and Encarta. both are just great. i love looking into new, unexplored words. as a child i used a dictionary for the purpose of academics and less inquisitiveness, it was a kind of compulsion. but now i do it just for the love of it. trust me, my vocabulary has been updated enormously as i have concentrated more into dictionaries, both online and offline. thanx.

yeah, i do consult dictionary even now. but now i try searching the meaning of a word on the internet.. i find it always use a dictionary before inserting a word, particularly in business communication.

well, is till do consult my dictionary for words and meanings. cause it still best to consult a dictionary when it comes to words that not quite familliar with us. its not that embarrasing to do.

Yup, I still do every now and then when I am not familiar with the word or when I want to know its meaning. I find it handy to browse the dictionary. When I'm online, I visit www.m-w.com (Meriam-Webster online site).

I still use a dictionary every now and again, but online. I go to dictionary.com and it has the same things that a paper dictionary has. Meanings, pronunciations, etc. Every once in a while, I will be somewhere like the library where I will need to use it for a word that I am using for class, and then I will go to the paper dictionary.

i used to do the same thing as a kid..and with the encyclopedias too. every once in a while i will pick up my dictionary if a word in a book im reading isnt familiar. but if im online i just go to www.dictionary.com.

I don't to learn a new word everyday but when I am talking if a person says a word I don't understand I go to my dictionary and look it up. It is a good way to keep your mind sharp and on the ball. I do some times page through the dictionary just to see words that are unusual to me. I also like to go to Readers Digest to the part where they have meaning of words and you have to choose the meaning that goes to the right word. That is very interesting.

I still use a dictionary frequently, mainly when writing and I'm not sure of a spelling. Sometimes I'll use the spell checker in my word processor, but I think I remember the spelling better if I look it up. I also consult a thesaurus when I'm searching for the perfect word to convey my thoughts. I'm usually off-line when writing, so I never use on-line dictionaries, though that might be handy also.

Of course, there are a million words to be learned day by day. I read a lot of books and some words have two to three different meanings. The dictionary is a very important tool for me.

yes, I often use dictionaries. I believe that the information on it is in detail and official. The only problem is that it could be out of date sometimes. So I think people shall also keep it updated.
