This! One of the things that used to happen is you'd pick up a book, and encounter a word or phrase you don't know or understand, and you'd go look it up. This is easier than ever with the internet. Don't know why someone would "rent a flat?" You go look the phrase up and discover that it's British usage. Confusion over... because you learned. Reading Moby Dick and don't know what "scraggy scoria" is? You look the words up and learn they're the perfect fit for the landscape Melville is painting. https://webstersdictionary1828.com/Dictionary/scraggy https://webstersdictionary1828.com/Dictionary/scraggy https://webstersdictionary1828.com/Dictionary/scoria https://webstersdictionary1828.com/Dictionary/scoria
