I will be getting dictionaries to have present in the home when DD is a bit older because I think it's important to know how to use one! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spinoff-do-you-own-a-dictionary#post-60551 Thu, 26 Jan 2012 13:23:43 +0000 tequiero21 60551@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrbee: rofl! now i know! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spinoff-do-you-own-a-dictionary#post-60548 Thu, 26 Jan 2012 13:18:20 +0000 mrbee 60548@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@tequiero21: And the pronunciation will be "lawl". </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spinoff-do-you-own-a-dictionary#post-60544 Thu, 26 Jan 2012 13:15:01 +0000 tequiero21 60544@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>i don't actually have one. all mine are at my parents' place. i do have dictionary.com. i may invest in a big one once my kids are in school.</p> <p>i don't like how they're trying to add all these colloquial words though. i'm afraid i'll see LOL in the dictionary. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spinoff-do-you-own-a-dictionary#post-60533 Thu, 26 Jan 2012 13:08:39 +0000 mrsjazz 60533@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes! We have Merriam-Webster and the Scrabble dictionary (Avid Scrabble players). And a thesaurus. But I'd be embarrassed if we didn't have them simply because I'm a writer and DH is an English teacher. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spinoff-do-you-own-a-dictionary#post-60524 Thu, 26 Jan 2012 13:04:36 +0000 chopsuey 60524@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have a law dictionary. :) No regular one though.

I use merriam-webster.com. I think I'll get one for when our LO gets a little older, though. Don't want her relying on technology for everything! </p>
