Subject:Re: New words - where have you found them? From:John Allred <jack -at- allrednet -dot- com> To:Robert Courtney <bobsc1 -at- earthlink -dot- net> Date:Mon, 8 Aug 2011 17:51:55 -0500
Random House's Dictionary.com is available as an iPhone app. Warning - it's a humongous app, as is certainly appropriate for an English dictionary. You can turn on a word of the say feature.
Personally, my antennae are constantly twitching. I hear words on TV & radio and rush to a dictionary. I rarely get through a decently written web article or a visit with a book without a trip to the dictionary. I even look up words I'm pretty sure I know.
"Hi. My name is John. I've been a workaholic for 54 years. I'm not seeking a cure. Just kindred souls."
My heart goes out to folks who aren't making regular trips to their dictionary, as well.
