[MarciKS]

[fmdog44]

The word "gullible" is not in any dictionary or Google.

 

[Ladybj]

Google - Almost every day. Dictionary - rarely. My how times has changed.

 

[Gaer]

I have an old "Word Finder" book from Reader's Digest. It has Synonyms for everything. Use it daily! Learn new words Daily. Love it!

 

[Damaged Goods]

I have an electronic, hand-held Oxford abridged dictionary that accompanies me when reading a book. I usually consult it a few times when reading any given book, but sometimes need to hit it big time. E.g., I just finished Paul Theroux's "Mother Land" and must have consulted it three dozen times. The word "obnubilate" wasn't even contained in the dictionary.

 

[katlupe]

I check the spelling of words many times daily. I used to write a number of blogs and would need to find the right word for something I was writing. I use DuckDuckGo to search. I search for all kinds of things all day long.

 

[peramangkelder]

I love crosswords...the written fill in the blanks kind....and I have a Million Crossword Dictionary
I use Google and also Dr Google for lots of health information and recipes....best Encyclopaedia around

For good or ill, Goggle has destroyed our ability to spell: Goggle it

 

[RadishRose]

Almost every day as I look up a lot more things than just spelling.
No Google, I use Duck Duck Go.

 

[Manatee]

I Google things and places more than words Webster's is on the shelf near the computer.
There are also 2 Spanish-English dictionaries, a British-American slang dictionary and a thesaurus.

 

[Ken N Tx]

Duck Duck Go and Alexa..

 

[Autumn]

When I don't know how to spell a word, I put my version of the word into Google and it always comes back with a correct spelling...I just did that to get the correct spelling for a word in my last post, Varenyky, which is the Ukrainian word for Pierogi...

 

[JustBonee]

I like to use Webster's Instant Word Guide most of the time.

 

[MickaC]

Have auto correct on my ipad.
When on one of my other computers........have Google Nest Hub, use it daily for spelling and meanings, love it.

Always was puzzled in school about this, even now.......Dictionaries give meanings.......i get that.
But.
If you want a spelling of a word.......so if you don't know how to spell it......how are you supposed to find it in a dictionary.

 

[StarSong]

DuckDuckGo and Dictionary.com for me.

 

[RadishRose]

obnubilate

Now there's a Word Of The Day!

That's what I used on my mother when she refused to answer my question by saying "look it up!". When I used that excuse she's say" just try- you'll find it". and I always did.

Didn't you hate it when they were right?
