in reply to poll ideas quest 2016
I am most likely to lookup the definition of a word when:
- I am in the mood
- I am proofreading
- The usage seems wrong
- I don't know what it means
- I am not sure what it means
- I'm not positive what it means
- I am afraid i used it incorrectly
- Someone challenges my use of it
- Context might change its meaning
- I want to see how it is pronounced
- It confuses what the sentence means
- I happen to have a dictionary nearby
- I want to know the word's etymology
- The dictionary plugin/app is working
- I want to see it contrasted to other words
- Never. I can (almost) always tell from context
- If i don't know what it means, it must not be important
