Here’s this week’s question:
What is the BIGGEST word you’ve seen used in a book lately – that made you stop and look it up? Might as well leave the definition & book too.
Actually, I will admit I was constantly checking BIG words when I started reading two years ago. I hadn’t read a book since I finished school and with the three children I am raising, I haven’t really needed big words as they are 7, 5 and 3! I haven’t had to check definitions very often lately and for the life of me I can’t remember the last word I checked or which book it was in!! (If I come across one today I will share it with you!)

It's so quick and easy to find a definition when reading on my Nook that I probably would have also found it impossible to answer this question but I just finished reading Cloud Atlas by David Mitchell and there were plenty of words I should have looked up, one in particular stood out to me. Check it out here
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by my FF post earlier, Naomi :)
ReplyDeleteHave a wonderful weekend. I am following you back via Linky.
I confess it's really rare when I check a definition, it's not very pleasant to do that when you read a book...

Hopping through. It's really hard to think of a big word on the spur of the moment.

I have a habit to highlight the words in my Kindle Fire, and always look them up right then, as it so easy but i do leave them highlighted as I like to look back at them, always expanding my vocabulary when I can.

Don't know where my comment went, Its gone, well, if this is double post, sorry. I was saying I like to highlight in my Kindle Fire, and keep that way, to look back, and also look up right there, as its just one click, very handy.

I agree with the rest with the Kindle its so easy to just check a word, I did that with some Spanish words that I didn't know

I tend to look up big words for for my essays etc. I also have started to highlight the words and look then up with my Kindle.
