- dhosek 6y agoTrue, it's largely laziness that keeps me using it. And there are occasional brain freezes where this dictionary really helps (the one that I remember most clearly was when I was reading a B. Traven story in Spanish and was stumped by alitas (this was back when I still used a paper dictionary while reading). Obviously it's the diminutive of alas, but I just couldn't see it. Fortunately, I was on vacation in Mexico at the time and the tour guide was able to point out my dumb problem. My wife who is fluently bilingual (she's a native Spanish speaker and speaks English without any trace of an accent and has a book credit writing in English) (and actually, she's trilingual, she also speaks French. Makes me feel pretty stupid beside her) uses the same dictionary although much less than I do, for the occasional gaps in her vocabulary (which is often broader than my own, see http://www.dahosek.com/susurrus/ http://www.dahosek.com/susurrus/ )
