lizziethereader: thecrimsonacademic:lizziethereader: Weekly Bookish Question #284 (May 8th - May 14th): Tell me about a book that made you feel younger or older than you are! The only book that ever made me feel old was my gigantic Webster’s New Universal Unabridged Dictionary. This thing is old itself, I grew up using it. Now it makes me feel old because everyone else turns to Google while I turn to a physical book. And it doesn’t have yeet in it which makes me happy. yeah, I can see how using a real, printed dictionary might make you feel old :D Has it ever failed you and you had to turn to google, or is it as useful as ever? It has failed me a few times, because English changes with each passing year and words are added to dictionaries/vernacular that my old one just doesn’t have. To be fair though, I still didn’t turn to Google, I just asked my dad instead. =PThankfully, though, it only failed for three words total thus far. Within my lifetime, those are pretty darn good odds! -- source link
