Its one of my main hobbies, I read it and write it down on words belonging to different grammar and ready them regularly to help it stay in my memory. One of my main purpose is to help me give several different choice of words for my aim to have an administrative job. Is this unusual hobby?
Wouldn't you be better off using vocabulary books like the Readers DIgest Word Power lists.
Me and my friend when we were at school used to love getting the thesaurus out to find alternatives to 'generic' words.
I even wrote Haiku once about peeling an apple!
I can only remember the first line: Tune turns to trifle
I pretty much changed every word by using a thesaurus to make it sound like I was talking about something else. I loved it and thought it was a genius idea!
... but the rest of my class and my english teacher were like wtf
As old as I am now, the dictionary game is still my favouite to play with my parents. Whenever we're anywhere waiting, like an airport or something, my mother would pull out a dictionary, find a word and dad and I would try to guess the meaning and find a synonym.
Yes, I'm from a nerdy family. Yes, that's our idea of fun.

It's weird.
Dictionaries are reference books and most people only use them when playing Scrabble or completing crosswords.
You should study some books on grammar and punctuation instead.

Yes and surely it should say a dictionary not just dictionary.
You can keep her, I'll have Rachel.
Even worse than some of the mechanic manuals I have read.
No defined start, middle and ending. Hardly any characterisation, I really couldnt emphathise with the main characters at all.
No tension, or mystery, just a load of jumbled up words in short sentences.
V poor.
Im starting the Suffolk A-Z next week, I'll let you all know what I make of that one.
...and the author keeps changing the subject.

Yes, but then I use phonetics on a daily basis at work so I'd need shooting if I couldn't...
