I could get lost in the dictionary. Every time I look a word up, I notice all the interesting words around it. So many wonderful words!
I can open up to any page and find words that are new to me or simply not used often. Here's a good one from the "D" section: disparage. It means: "to speak of as unimportant or small; belittle." Right below it is disparate, which means: "completely distinct or different in kind; entirely dissimilar." Two fabulous words on the same page. I love the English language.
You know you're a writer when you have this disease. But it's a useful disease.
ReplyDeleteYes, it helps you learn new words.
