when was the last time you consulted a dictionary??

I use online dictionary all the time, espeially when on mylot because believe me you don't want to be embarrassed here typing wrong words.I would normally open a tab for the dictionary www.dictionary.com and as i chat/type i would consult the dictionary just to be sure i'm typing the correct words and the spelling too

i use all time,i just wonder when i can get rid of it? i don't think i can.i need all the time.because English is not my first language.dictionary is my best friend.

I am generally a whiz at words so I do not use the dictionary very much. As a matter of fact my husband calls me his walking dictionary....LOL.

dictionary is the best book one could ever use. there are so many words and many different meanings to the same word that can be learnt through dictionary. i feel any language is best learnt by using dictionary for that language quite often than regular.

hi buddies hhhmmm i m found of dictionary because it help me a lot. specially when i m sad, so it my habit to see the dictionary because it is the only thing which can change Ur mind and thinking ability. i personally use dictionary then when i m sad. Prince Sad

Whenever i find new words, i used to refer dictionary and further i like to learn new words and hence i use dictionary regularly.i can it as one of my hobby

Hi! for me, dictionary is truly useful, I always consult to it whenever I've met a new words and also to know their usage as well as to see other similar words that I may use. It seems almost everyday I use dictionary, since English isn't my native language. Whenever I am writing like here in mylot, once in awhile, I'll look up to online dictionary for words and consult it if I use the word right. You're kinda right in saying that it is boring, having thousands of words and all, but it was also useful to us, quite a big help to understand more of these thousands words and learned their usage too.

Back when i worked as a nurse i often used a dictionary when charting (usually a medical Dictionary) and although i no longer work outside the home i still quite often find myself using a dictionary (webster or a crossword) because i like to do crossword puzzles.

I cannot remember when was the time I consulted a dictionary. I think I checked merriam webster just a few days ago. Same to you, I am working as a copy editor. Many times I have encountered new words so I really need to check if such words do really exist. Sometimes I cannot find it in the dictionary. Sometimes if I am not busy, I just look at the dictionary on the internet just to waste my time.

I consult E-dictionary every day when i encounter a word that i know the meaning or spelling~

Hey Bebeth: Yes, I use it when I am on the internet and doing anything that involves words. It is a very valuable tool that is a must for me in my daily life. Also, thanks so much for enjoying the comment about songs in lieu of prayer. You truly made me feel appreciated and I am so glad that I had the opportunity to express that God wants to hear from all of us, all of the time, no matter what going on in our lives. Smile... Thanks, blessings...

I use a dictionary quite often. I like to do crossword puzzles and the dictionary comes in very handy . happy mylotting

haha! the last time i looked at a dictionary was when i was still in school, around 10 years ago. with the advent of the internet, whenever there are words i can't understand is still consult a dictionary, but i don't go to the bookshelf, i go online instead. this is more convenient and faster too...

Ya i use dictionary from websites. Sometimes i use an electronic dictionary but not dictionary books.

not dictionary, but dictionary.com up until a few days ago i didn't have a dictionary. but my husband is taking online classes and that came with his books so now we have one. but when i need to learn the meaning of words i normally just look it up at dictionary.com because its easier. its good to look at your dictionary, people should do that with their children just so they can learn.

Hi Gosh it has been so long I cant remember LOL. HMM HMM !! I suppose the last time was around 10 years ago . Yep , 10 years ago when I was still in high school . Now i just use the online one . Using that is so simple . I dont even have one in my house LOL. I guess maybe at parens there is one , but sure you gotta blow the dust of of that LOL.

I don't really consult an actual book dictionary but I think just this week I went to dictionary.com to look up something. I use that website a lot. Sometimes I use words and I know that I'm using it in the right context but I just want to make sure that I have it right. I think that the internet dictionary is really helpful because you get the information that you need really quickly so you can continue with the work that you have to do a lot quicker.

I agree too that the dictionary is a very bland book and unless you know the word your looking for I can't find any other use for it. I must admit I haven't looked in a dictionary for years as I often do a spell check on the computer rather than pull out a dictionary and flick through the pages. Perhaps i'm just lazy nowadays and it's true improvements in technology are making us lazier compared to how people used to live hundreds of years back. My dictionary which I bought several years ago for school is now buried in amongst my old school and college work left redundant in the bottom of a box somewhere in my room. Poor mr dictionary

Last night. I had to consult the dictionary often because I am a teacher. I also use online dictionary and electronic dictionary. It helped me a lot. But I prefer the traditional way that is flipping from cover to cover.

When I am on the computer I open a Word Document and use it to check spelling on words that are difficult for me. I also like to use Word to find synonyms so that I do not sound redudant. So for me I would say almost daily. My husband used to sit and read the dictionary or an encyclopedia. He is too busy for that now because now he reads schematics for tube amps. LOL (just as boring to me)
