I love to learn new words. Or, as is often the case, relearn words I’d looked up before and forgotten. I swear my vocabulary stopped growing organically about 35 years ago. Adding to it is a constant struggle.
I check out e-books from my library, and if I’m tripped up by a word I don’t know (or can’t remember), I touch the screen and up pops a definition.
I do miss curling up with a good book, but curling up with an iPad is less cumbersome than curling up with a book AND a dictionary, especially when I’m traveling.
I learned a new word just before I started writing this.
Merriam-Webster’s word of the day was “fustian.”     Login or Subscribe to read the rest of this story.
