I have an officemate who always carry a big back pack. I teased him that there might be gold bars in his bag and he laughed so loud. He found my joke funny1But he replied to me and said that he carries with him his dictionary. Everybody in the desk was like HUH? because its our first time to know that there are still who bring Mr. Weby! I was not able to ask a follow up question because I was to shy to ask again.
HOW ABOUT YOU? DO YOU STILL BRING A DICTIONARY?

I don't actually bring it with me all the time but i do take note of words that i encounter which i am not so familiar of, so when i get home i try and find their meanings.

Hm... a strange one that is! I don't bring a dictionary anywhere I go, heck, I rarely use a dictionary! When there is a word that I don't understand, I just use context clues, which is, if you don't know, the way of understanding a certain word you cannot understand by looking at the words neighboring it. But I do know a person- also a student- who always brings an electronic dictionary anywhere she goes. I am already used to see her using it on the strangest possible places...

No, I have never gotten into the habit of carting a dictionary around, even though I'm a reader. I don't see any kind of practical reason for it.
Furthermore, if I need a definition, the internet is a quick place to visit. There are many online dictionaries available to help you out.
You should tell your friend to take advantage of such..and stop carting a dictionary that will give him back aches..LOL

I do carry a big bag pack with me too, but it's not GOLd BARS nor my webby in it.. It's just my sports attire, and my running shoes.. lol =D
IN this time and day, it's hard and rare to see ple still carrying their dictionary around.. haha ^_^ NOW the laptops and computers, along with the internet, everything can be found easily, so who will actually need a dictionary?? hehe ^_^ Unless, he's really someone who is always eager and keen for knowledge, that's why he always carries it?? haha
