I often use a dictionary. I started using a dictionary at school for the English lessons. So that habit continued. I still use a dictionary when reading or writing something. Now I use a dictionary app in my phone which is quicker and easier. A dictionary is kind of a door to the world of language. Anyway, I always thank to the person who created a dictionary.
