    how often do you use a dictionary?

    i've noticed in just about every hous ei enter, there's a dictionary on the bookshelf. but how often do you ACTUALLY use your dictionary? are you constantly hitting up the dictionary or dictionary.com to get a deeper meaning to what you're reading? is your vocabulary ever expanding? or are you satisfied making due with the context?

        I only look up words when I need to make sure of their spelling.

        Very rarely i find a word i dont know. I dont mean this in arrogance but I have a knack for words..a lot of them come from reading.

        When i was in the 6th grade i was a smart yet rebellious youth. My mother was called into speak with my teacher and the lady actually said to my mother, "He has a higher vocabulary language than me and he uses it. Sometimes its intimidating."

        this of course was after her saying what a noisy little fuck I was ...


        obviously you can see I care not about my punctuation

              OMG, it's one of the reasons I want a good cell with net access - I swear I use Google every 5 minutes. I hate sitting in an airport reading a book w/o Google access

                Not too often - but I have the Websters Dictionary plug-in for Firefox for those times when someone uses words with more than 7 letters in it

                    Wow I'll have to get that. Is there a thesaurus? I use a thesaurus when trying to create a good domain name.

                        I downloaded the new Firefox and it tells me I have a misspelled word in posts and gives me suggestions. What's the plug in, Bama?!!

                                  I like it as a decorative tool... one of those bigass ones on a pedestal or a lectern... makes it look very academic in our house.

                                          I haven't owned a dictionary since I was at school, which is not something of which I am proud. It is simply that if I had one, I wouldn't use it because I write quickly and don't like interrupting the flow.

                                          I could probably get away with that if I were a faster and more accurate typist. Unfortunately too in the circumstances, I have the bad habit of rarely reading, let alone editing things I have written.

                                                I used to have three dictionaries. Nowadays I don't use an actual book, I just look it up on the internet (dictionary.com).

                                                I don't use it every day, but I'll use it at least a few times on a weekly basis. I also use a thesaurus pretty often, too.

                                                    I forgot to mention I have bookmarks set up in Firefox so I can just type in "dict <word>" or "thes <word> in the address bar and it'll look up the word at dictionary.com or thesaurus.com.

                                                            This quote reminded me Of Jack, cept jack seemed pretty pristine with his punctuation and grammar as well as rhetorical vocabulary novels

                                                                the little red line comes up under the miss spelled word, that's how I know it needs to be corrected
                                                                Carbon is not the problem, it makes up 0.041% of our atmosphere , 95% of that is from Volcanos and decomposing plants and stuff. So people in the US are responsible for 13% of the carbon in the atmosphere which 95% is not from Humans, like cars and trucks and stuff and they want to spend trillions to fix it while Solar Panel plants are powered by coal plants
