DAY 2158: October 16, 2018
Prompt: October 16 is Dictionary Day . It commemorates the birth of Noah Webster (October 16, 1758), the Father of the American Dictionary. Do you prefer to use an online dictionary or a book dictionary? Why?

I can't remember the last time I used a book dictionary...which makes me sad in some way. I typically do most of my writing at the computer now so I easily access the online dictionary whenever I need it. It is very convenient. I'm typically a holdout for actual physical books in every other way. I don't own a kindle or other electronic reader. I prefer book shops and libraries and of open a real book when I want to read. Yet when I am writing, I can't help the accessibility of the online dictionary. My free time available to devote to my writing is so limited, I have to use it all wisely. That makes stopping and fetching an actual dictionary impractical unfortunately.
