Looking up "dirty" words! That's how I know another word describing a bundle of sticks!
I loved the little indentations to skip right to a particular letter!
The one at my parents' house is full of four-leaf clovers my dad found.
What other kind of dictionaries are there that aren't printed, like a verbal dictionary on a CD?
Online - like where the majority of people consult definitions if they need to. I haven't used a printed dictionary in 15 plus years.
Is there an online rhyming dictionary too I'd be able to sell mine
There are many.
But you grip onto your physical goods as long as you possibly can. Do not sell to those scrap happy bidders out trying to find the down trodden low sellers to turn a quick buck. You hang on. Hang on. We're all counting on you.
Uhhhhhh bro... all these still exist...
I'm talking about using them.
I may be biased working in a library but I still do pretty regularly. I was under the assumption people still used them :/
My b for misunderstanding your point tho! I get the purpose of the post now.
I haven't used a physical dictionary in probably fifteen years. I was just hit with the memory of the sound of sliding the pages and the smell of the enormous OED resting on a podium in my college library.
Honestly it is SO nice. I like to just flip through some of the really old books and dictionaries. They smell so nice And the SOUND of the old gigantic OEDs is unbeatable.
