When the last time you consut to dictionary?

I use it to look up some spellings for responses on here! When I was younger I was a good speller. I haven't worked for a few years and I don't read as much as I did, so I need a refresher. When I send e-mails I use the spell check, but I can't find anything like that on here, so I use the dictonary.

All kinds of dictionary are good for me. When I read I use to consult them very often, either online or in paper. I do this for spelling in foreign languages or meaning for my native language or foreign languages. Dictionaries are of great help for enriching the vocabulary.

Today actually. I keep my dictionary beside my work station at all times and use it as often as I need to. Sometimes I want to check the spelling, sometimes I need to look up the meaning of a word. Today I even used Dictionary.com because I wanted a synonym for a word.

I can't remember the last time i did open my dictionary. When i have words that i don't know the meaning, i usually go online and search it up here on mylot or on online dictionaries. I guess dictionaries are not that common these days when we can all easily look the words correct meaning and spelling online.

I do keep my teachers advice to consult the dictionary for words that I do not know or the thesaurus for new words to learn. I do keep this especially when I am reading books( I do love reading even at a young age). But nowadays even If there is the internet having a pocket dictionary is still very useful, my daughter also needs it for school as well so i bought her one set.

sincerely speaking i dont remember the last time i consulted a dictionary for meaning of a word, maybe it was five years ago still in high school. i usually go online to check for meanings and proper spelling when writting something official

I write a lot nearly every day, on the Internet and preparing articles in my word processor. I have a dictionary on my desk a lot of the time to check for different words and sometimes to check the spelling of a word. It is amazing how the mind can forget how to spell some of the simplest words at times! _Derek

I never really used a dictionary very much in my life. I dont think I even own one anymore. It would take up room on my bookshelf when I can just look up a word online. Next to me though I do have a thesaurus. I used to love writing poems when I was in high school and for Christmas one year I told them I wanted a thesaurus. I got one and I loved it. I have used it so many times. I dont keep it next to me all the time though. The reason it is down here and not upstairs on the bookshelf is because a few weeks ago I told a friend that I wanted him to dote on me and he didnt know what it meant. I thought well maybe I'm wrong and didnt know the meaning so I went and grabbed my thesaurus and I was right about the way I used the word and what I meant!

I honestly think that the last time that I actually even used a dictionary was when I was in college. I am doing a lot of writing online these days and I find that my spell checker with my word processing software works just as well as the dictionary in most cases, if not just a little bit better. In addition to that, I have a pretty much photographic memory and that means that once I've seen the spelling of a word once, I never forget how the word is spelled.

I still use dictionaries but mostly online. If you are talking about a book dictionary then it was like 4 years ago. Yeah that long. Online dictionaries is much easier and faster. Though sometimes the disadvantage is that they aren't 100% accurate. But hey its still ok when the world is fast moving. :)

if you are referring to the paperback dictionary, its already years the last time i opened mine. and especially right now that my phone came with a dictionary, i use it all the time.

I am using dictionary everyday. For my convenient, I am using the online oxford dictionary few minutes ago.. In my country, we are not so common to use English. In our daily life, we speak our own language or Chinese's dialects. In government office, we use Malaysian's language or Malay language. English was popular and widely used only during the British colonel period. As such, I still have to refer to the dictionary for certain spelling of the English words.

while playing scrabble I still use a dictionary. good day.

I have a two volume set from 1945 sitting right next to the computer at home. I use it every couple of days.

i use an online dictionary often at work because my boss has terrible grammer and spelling!

I do consult a dictionary quite often. I like consulting a dictionary, when I'm not sure of the spelling of a word, or the exact meaning of a word, or something to that effect. I find that having a dictionary helps me, whenever I'm writing something, whether for school or an e-mail or something.

I actually purchased a dictionary not too long ago. I tutor one night a week and have found that having a dictionary and a calculator on hand is invaluable! These are two tools I still refuse to be without!

Greetings! I can't remember that last time I checked my dictionary. As far as i can remember, it was already months ago.

I still use one pretty regularly. mostly for the spelling aspect of it when I am working with my higher level students. I feel it sets a good example as a double check when you are uncertain. I do use it for scrabble as well.

I usually use an online dictionary, but I consult it quite often (at least once a week). I've always wanted to have a large vocabulary, so I love learning new words. Actually, the last time I looked in a dictionary was when playing Scrabble last week.
