Yes, I have a dictionary, and I'm sorry to spoil it for all those who haven't read it, but it was the Zebra that done it.

I picked up one of those huge unabridged dictionaries from a school library that was closing. Here in California, everything that has to do with education is being shut down by the governator.

I just use the dictionary on the internet.
I'm not like you who know all the words already ;)

No, I own several dictionaries and a thesaurus. I'll probably never know all the words in a dictionary.

I have to say I am not as good as you, not only do I own a dictionary I also have the Websters page on my book marks.

A big Webster was my first buy when I came to the USA in 1984 - but I hardly ever look into it, I am pretty good with vocabulary and spelling. I always owned dictionaries like that, also in Germany. Even with a background in Latin there could be an unknown word and that would bother me.

funk and wagnalls; I only know that I can never "know" enough. ;)

I own an English dictionary, but use it rarely. (I also use my French dictionary rarely)
I mostly use my Danish dictionary and Spanish dictionary.

I own several dictionaries! Oh I have a lovely one - 1951 OED - the word "computer" is not in it! As a child, from I was old enough to read, i used to sit and read that dictionary - just flicking from reference to reference. Marvellous!
I also have an old Samuel Johnson dictionary - where the letters 'i' and 'j' are used as one letter... lovely!!!

Do you add words to the dictionary to get rid of that little red squiggly line?

You're reading Do you own a dictionary, or like me do you already know all the words?
