Do you still use a dictionary?

Yes, I have a dictionary in my desk drawer and I use it when necessary. I have never had trouble with spelling. In fact I won a State spelling bee when I was at school, but now that I'm 70 I find that sometimes I forget things such as which ending is correct: "ant or ent" "ance or ence" "able or ible" etc. I do not use a spell checker as quite often it will miss a word simply because even though it is the wrong word, it is still a word. I prefer to proof read myself and any endings I'm not sure of, I'll look in the dictionary. It is just as quick as checking on the computer.

I do this do. I prefer it cause there are times that pc dictionaries don't have always the right spelling or the words that are similar are coming first so, I save time that way.

I adore the old books. I use what with which I was going to school, but my english has many mistakes. I never throw an old book, and do not renew it, if only I cover him with plastic.

ohh yes i also keep my dictionary handy all the time.. i used to check my pronunciation and laso for grammatical check aswell. Some times i also check on my spellings aswell. Old fashioned idcionary has its own charm... and by searching for my particualr word eventually i saw seevral other words to increase my knowledge and vocabulary.

I use the dictionary.com webiste. I dont think I will be able to go back to the old way of looking at the books. It takes a lot of time.

yes when i don't know the significance of a worth i use the dictionary...

yes, i still use the dictionary --- but i don't use the old ones much anymore because there are new words and new spellings that come up which we couldn't see in old dictionaries. i use microsoft encarta and the internet as references.

i dont use a dictionary but not because i dont want to but because we dont have one in our house i dont even remember the last time i have seen a dictionary

I love my dictionary too. But unlike you, I use online resources too, side by side with the conventional ones.

Yes, I do and will probably keep for a very long time. I also have an old set of encyclopedias. I keep them on hand for my children. Some of their assignments require the use of other materials in addition to the internet.

As a matter of fact i hardly use dictionaries,i use the spellchecker on my word processing package,it is faster and easier.

i have several dictionaries but i dont look into them often,,,,,,,most of the time i work on computer so i check online dictionries

I still use a dictionary but the difference is that i use the online version nowadays. using a dictionary is a healthy habit,coz i have seen lots of my colleagues asking me for spellings when they have to write a letter etc, n it doesnt give a gud impression.

To have a pocket dictionary is good. because when you go aboard and some people might talk some word that is actually not familiar to you. in order to prevent it you need to carry a pocket dictionary with you always in your pocket heh. it`ll help you alot and increases your vocabulary.thx. Good day!

Yes, I still use it to learn some words I read or heard that I don't know the meaning of it.

I still look at the dictionary to check some spelling which I doubt to be wrong and also to look at the meaning of some profound the words I encounter on a regular basis. Most of the time I use it when the computer is turned off or if I was really looking for more details which I suspect a dictionary might not provide....I go directly to the search it on the internet.

I do have a dictionary in the house, but I admit not to using it too often these days. A spell check on the PC is much quicker!

Yes, I still use a dictionary. If the spellchecker tells me it's wrong but can't find the correct spelling, I defer to the trusty old dictionary. It's amazing to see what the spellchecker comes up with for words when you are trying to find a completely different word.

yes i do use a dictionary when ever i go through new words i just look for there meaning in the dictionary.. and dictionary isnt at al old fashioned.. i wonder what is the new form of dictionary...

my mother tongue is not english so always i used dictionary whenever i read newspaper, tv english news.
