Suggested by Nithin:

I’ve always wondered what other people do when they come across a word/phrase that they’ve never heard before. I mean, do they jot it down on paper so they can look it up later, or do they stop reading to look it up on the dictionary/google it or do they just continue reading and forget about the word?


Don’t forget to leave a link to your actual response (so people don’t have to go searching for it) in the comments—or if you prefer, leave your answers in the comments themselves!

    Here is my response:

    http://shaycv.blogspot.com/2008/04/booking-through-thursday-vocabulary.html

    I do a variety of things, depending on what book I am reading, how interesting the book is and where I am at the time I am reading the book. I prefer to look up the word(s) online using http://www.dictionary.com but I also have a dictionary (hard copy) at work and at home to look up words. Google comes in handy also.

  94. Cathrine in Norway Says:

    I find myself just reading on for the most part. This because I read in the bath. And often feel badly about doing so - the reading on part not the bath ;-) ! As I know I am missing out on learning something new!
    But if it is a phrase that touches something in me I mark it with a pen and look it up later (not often enough)

    I’m going to answer right here as this is a really quick one - I look the words up in an online dictionary, usually the Oxford English Dictionary - luckily I have a subscription through my university. Then, I tag the page on del.icio.us with the tag ‘dictionary’ and copy+paste the key definition into the Notes section. I also include where I found the word, usually just the author’s name but sometimes a whole quotation. I can then post lists of interesting words I’ve come across to my blog, which I generate by looking in del.icio.us under the ‘dictionary’ tag - here’s an example:
