I don't use any hard copy dictionary. I used to use it in my childhood since I didn't know how to use google for searching any word meaning. But when I grow up I just started using online dictionaries like google translator. It helps me to find any word meaning in no time. So it saves our valuable time & makes our life faster than old days. Moreover, hard copy dictionaries consume a lot of time & effort. I think people rarely use those dictionaries nowadays.
