Do you read the dictionary?

well I am a very book addicted but I think I have never read a dictionary like a book!!! I like using dictionary because I like studying languages and I like widen my language abilities...I use very much the Italian dictionary, too because I think that if we want to use our language properly we have to deeply study it..and I like my language,too ..of course I use dictionaries when studying foreign languages..in this case I like reading the pages dedicate to building vocabulary...I find them very useful for me and I enjoy them even more if they are full of pictures and drawings that help us memorise

yes ,some time when I am eating or there is no books on side I'll reading the dictionary to escape ,that's enjoy and can learn some words about their origin .

No ,I seldom start reading the dictionary, although I do believe I have done it a time or two. One thing I do have is a bookmark for dictionary.com at the top of my web browser. I use it frequently to check on the spelling of words and also to check the meaning of new words .

i like reading the dictionary a lot as it gives you immense opportunity to get good vocabulary, also your diction improves a lot...

Only when I come across a word that I can't figure out the meaning of. Typically, there are context clues to decypher the definition of a word, but if it's something so obscure or archaic that even the clues are out of my lexicon, i turn to Noah Webster. One day, I'll purchase a complete set of the Oxford English Dictionary, but that ain't in the budget for a few years.

when i have to, yes. i occasionally resist doing this because dictionaries are usually heavy and cumbersome to carry around

yea, i do. i read some other books as well. i also read the whole book through the dictionary cause i wanna get the hang of keeping everything in my head, due to my trouble understanding things.

I don't read it like a novel but I do try to read at least one new word a day. I sometimes read the same word more than once but it takes more than once for me to really learn the new word. I also get the dictionary when my daughter asks what word means and then we read it together. I think it is important for her to learn about dictionaries and how usefull they are.

I do not read the dictionary leisurely. I use it only as reference.

no i read real books for fun because sometimes i get bored reading a dictionary without any story

noo i would neva do that .. i only use dictionary to refer or to know the meanings of words which i cannot understand

i only read dictionary for references, thats it.
