This is a terrible take. So bad I can’t even comprehend asking it.
Let me give an example of the inverse of this idea:
When I was 10 or so my mom had me read lord of the rings. She also gave me a dictionary to look up words I didn’t yet know.
I learned so much. The resplendent delivery of my loquacious lexicon is beatific in its copious verbiage.
Momma dun learned me cuz I dint know words gud.
- cratermoon 4y agoI still have the medium-sized dictionary I bought for college. Many words have dates or notes next to them, from the time when I would use it for studying and doing exactly this. I also have the thesaurus, of similar size, I bought at the same time. Today I keep a spreadsheet of "Words of Interest", where I make notes about words I encounter that I either don't know or find especially insightfully placed. Come to think of it, I wouldn't mind a decent dictionary app that allowed for making permanent personal annotations. Do you happen to know of one?
- imwillofficial 4y agoI do not, that’s a wonderful idea. Please report back if you find one
