In our day to life while reading books or going through newspapers we come across different new words.Do you find the meaning of some of those or do you just leave them?In my case I like finding the meanings of new words.Infact I have even installed a dictionary software in my system so that i get to know the meanings of words when I browse the internet.What do you do?

I'm crazy about vocabulary. If I come across a word I don't know I look it up & research it. I've been looking to install a new privacy fence. As I was shopping I noticed that the term "rods" was used. Pertaining to distance. I'd never heard of it so that was an interesting mini adventure. I think everyone should make an effort to learn about something unfamiliar. You never know when you'll need that info. Besides, it makes you better at crossword puzzle, and you'll be a hero the next time you play Trivial Pursuit.

hi! there are really many new words that we see each time we read a book or a newspaper, and when I saw one or more I never leave it/them just so, i open the interpret dictionary and search for its meaning, because I study literature and i am very keen not only on books, novels and reading, i am very keen on the language itself!
