Today's
question: If you come across an unfamiliar word, do you stop and
look it up right away?
Boo:
As often as I could, yes. Mr. Dictionary and I had a very close
relationship. Boo was given a dictionary for Christmas, maybe
seven or eight years ago. That was one well used dictionary! He
often sat and read it and just enjoyed playing with new words.
Although he can no longer read it, once a week (sometimes more
often), I'll find a couple of new words for us. Boo really has an
incredible vocabulary!
Kari:
Since I began reading with a Nook, I usually do look words up
immediately. The dictionary function is something that I appreciate!
As a child I remember reading an old dictionary my parents had. The
definitions were far more interesting than the simple ones in
“school” dictionaries. One summer I began learning Latin root
words, prefixes and suffixes from that dictionary---just for fun.
(OK, we spent that summer in a very small town with no library and
few children. I was bored. You know, boredom can be a good thing!)
