One birthday, maybe I was 25 or so, I took a hunk of my birthday money and bought many magazines, then stayed in bed reading them. I also picked up two pocket dictionaries, because I am a bad speller and they were handy to have around. One hung out on my desk and one I carried in my bag for quite some time.
Of course, now I can just look up anything on my phone. But it’s fun to look at the pages, isn’t it?
Ah how I love a mini-dictionary. I was thinking, I wonder why this is getting the boot? And then I remembered, for the exact same reason that I no longer need one. I have 2 different dictionary apps on my phone which get great use – especially this year.
Here are my current favorites:
hegemony
ontology
phenomenology
epistemology
Did you ever play the word games supplement?
Myself and word games don’t really get along, so no.
