Do you use Dictionary.?.?.?

I use dictionaries, but I have found that looking through a thesarus is also interesting

Hi & Hello, ajesh. In my office, yes. I used it for my reference on doing or preparing special report or any of my principal's document material. At home I do not have any of it. And mine is for The Cassell Compact Dictionary 6"(W) X 8"(L) X 2"(H) with hard cover and ISBN 0-304-35006-0. Cassell, Wellington House, 125 Strand, London WC2R OBB. Printed and bound in Great Britain by Mackays of Chatham PLC, Kent. HAPPY DAPPY.

I seldom use a dictionary for myself,but I work with handicapped third graders who have vocabulary from some of their stories, so I am looking up words on a third grade level. Allowance was a word this week, it means a sum of money or item received on a regular basis.

Usually, I will just use the online dictionaries if I need to check up a word. It is fast, easy and simple. But from time to time, I need to confirm the "absolute" meaning of a word. Then I will refer to book dictionary. =)

Dictionary is one of the best and time tested and basic tool for those who want to improve their vocabulary as well as to know about the meanings of worlds. A good dictionary helps the consultants in different ways. It guides about the meaning of worlds, usage of words, pronunciations of words, origins of words and much many more. The dictionary with big number of worlds could be called better one than the dictionary with less numbers of words. Dictionary in book format becomes the story of past, as it is available and could be downloaded on line and also available in market as software on CD. I use the dictionary I feed in my computer and find it most helpful, when I work on or off the line on my computer.

i often use the dictionary.in the past i used a book of dictionary,but now i often check online.^^

To be frank i rarely have the habit.i am so lazy that even if i have a doubt regarding the word i let my doubt remain and ask one of my friends.i never bother to look in dictionary.i know its really bad to not even look into the oxford dictionary that i have at home.but what to do,certain things never change.

It has been one of my favorite books since my child hood.I attribute the credit to it for whatever English I know.

I rarely use dictionary and thats the reason why i have a very poor vocab. There are times when i refer online dictionary but thats also very rare and honestly speaking i don't have a dictionary in my room. My dad use to refer dictionary a lot and even my sister my but i don't and they always scold me when i use improper words saying that i should refer to dictionary at times. Anyway today i learnt a new word 'a la mode'.

no i dont remember the last word i looked up, but i do use the dictionary - we tend to play scrabble a lot and rather than running down to the computer, it is much easier to have a paperback dictionary with you.

I have always been an excellent speller, but lately I've been having a bit of trouble being sure I'm right... senior moments, possibly?? Probably.....

yup, dictionary helps a lot cos there are many words and phrases we don't know, especially when learning a foreign language. I personally used to use Oxford Advanced Learners Dictionary a lot, but now consult on-line dictionary more often. The last word i checked is oust. Nobody wants to be ousted.:)

of course i use dictionary when translating new words.. and it's really helpful.. i always use online dictionary www.thefreedictionary.com and it's the best online dictionary i found..

I did have this habit before of looking up everything on a dictionary. Sometimes I just browse it so I can have my word or words for the day. I used the Merriam Webster one. But nowadays I just do definition search online.

I confess I use dictionary.com quite often. When I'm not at the computer I use it via my web connection on the phone.

I do use a dictionary especially when I encounter words that I'm not familiar with.I'm using webster dictionary.

We have three dictionries, one for each language, English, Chinese and Malay. My son has to use them when learning. I have one with me now. When I am not sure the spelling of certain words, I will refer to it. It is . When I encounter some new words, I have to consult my damb-teacher.

oh no i just dont remember when was the last time i saw the dictionary. i m sure i have one, but now with the internet i just dont think of a dictionary. the best is merriam webster for me.

Yes, I can say that the dictionary has been a very good friend to me since my primary school days. I competed on yearly Spelling contests until my senior year in high school. :-) Even until now, here in my room, I always have my old English-Tagalog Dictionary just within my reach. It's very useful when doing translation jobs. Tough luck, the last word I had searched is not in my dictionary. For Filipinos here, what is the Tagalog word for "skewed"?

I use Oxford Advanced Learners Dictionary and I also have a Longman Dictionary. When I get any new words, I search and try to remember it immediately.
