In my opinion, Internet dictionary is more than easier a book dictionary. We can use our phone for internet. Our phone is always with us. We can search in Google to find some new word. But sometimes it makes us confused. I think sometimes internet can’t reach all of word. In book dictionary, it has all correct word. But it’s little bit difficult to find word. But we can find the correct word from the book dictionary. But I think that we don’t always need to use dictionary. It makes us dependable. So we have to use our mind first, if we can’t understand than we can use dictionary.

I go to find the meaning of words in a Dictionary or an intermittently online (App). Nowadays generations are changing, and peoples have been using more app often which refers definition of words. App doesn’t take enough time to look up and it has many unfamiliar words which you can discover them in app. It has changed overtime because various websites or apps have a different ways of meaning of definition to explain the readers. The last word I looked up the meaning was pugnacious. It means ready to fight or to arguing very forcefully. I saw this word in articles and look up in app. In addition, I look up the meaning of unfamiliar word is frequently because sometimes you require the definition of these words to understand the concept of a reading or speech.

When I need to find any word that I really do not understand, I usually use a dictionary book. But sometimes I do not find the word that I need to know, so I use my phone because I have a dictionary app there. I do not use often the dictionary because I try to learn for myself the meanings but when I am confused I use it. I agree, the dictionary says the true all the time. When nobody understands something the first thing they think is about the dictionary. I think that schools need to teach the young students how use the dictionary when they are confuse, because sometimes they use the internet and usually the words have different meanings. The last word that I looked up was gambling that means a person who plays with money to win more money and other similar things. The first time that I looked for this word was in the Charlie Chaplin movie.

I have to admit I don’t like that much to search for meanings in the dictionary. Most of the time I don’t search for them because by the time I get to determinate the appropriate meaning, I’ve lost the idea of the sentence I was reading. I first try to find myself a meaning for the word through the context of the sentence. Also if I consider that the word is not essential to understand the text, I just leave it behind. Definitely, this is not the right thing to do and I’m trying hard to change this habit. To search for words in the dictionary makes our lexicon bigger, allowing us to discover an entire new world, and to know how to name something in different ways makes us more fluent while talking and writing. Very often we forget these new words very quickly. We should find a way to illustrate meanings in our minds and connect it with certain memories, so anytime we see these words again we’ll be able to remember the full meaning.

Many people use the short way and one of the most used is the internet that has provided much information for us and it helps us to it faster than ever.

I usually find meaning in the web because I think is easier. You can say that I am lazy. I used to spend three or two minutes before I could find the word I was looking for in my mom’s dictionary, and I think that in the web we can find some sort of meanings that we would not find casually in a regular dictionary, now if you ask me how often I look for unknown words I would say that most of time my laziness comes to me and do not let me improve my vocabulary even if I have a dictionary in front of me I would rather use my logic to figure out the meaning of what I was looking for . I do agree with Jesse Sheidlower’s idea because nowadays we can doubt about everything we already know, my advice for all of those looking for responses and explanations is to get a highlighter, a dictionary or your phone (it does not really matter as long as you get to your goal) and do not give up on your search, keep searching, keep learning. That is the point.
The last word I looked for was “Wordsmith” I saw it on this article and it means the person who works with words.

We are in the 21st century, where everything we do involves technology. I use a dictionary app on my phone to look up words now. It’s more convenient than carrying the dictionary around.
