This week's question is: 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.
MY ANSWER: I honestly can't remember. It's been awhile since I saw a word that has made me pause and it look it up. I think all the years of reading has helped strengthen my vocab.
I'm in total agreement sometimes I can figure out what the word means by the sentence it's in, thanks for stopping by.
ReplyDeleteI haven't been looking up any words either. Have a great weekend!

Happy Friday!
I totally agree with you it's not something important to me so I don't remember either.
ReplyDeleteIt does increase your vocab.
ReplyDeleteI find my vocab has strengthened too. My friday http://jennreneeread.blogspot.com/2012/09/follow-friday-34-and-weekly-wrap-up.html

That's a good point. Book bloggers and writers probably have stronger vocabularies than lay readers, so we look up words less. Thanks for stopping by my blog. Old Follower!
ReplyDeleteThat's awesome! I stumble on words quite a bit, but by reading the rest of the sentence I can usually figure out what it means. :)

Thanks for stopping by my F&FF, Jessica! I'd love to hear a word in the near future when you come across one. :)
ReplyDeleteSarika.
I agree it's not too often that a word stumps me but once in awhile it does.
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by. Have a great weekend!
Same here - there was a time I used to keep a dictionary handy, but it's been a very long time.
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by. Bob @ Beauty in Ruins
Not one word Jessica?! LOL It looks like all that reading has us book readers putting our dictionaries away. Here's my FF - food related, not the biggest word but new term. And it is not something I would try (I'm not that adventurous).
ReplyDeleteHappy FF! Old follower :)
Have a great day -
Renee @ Succotash Reviews
I don't come across one often either :) Thanks for stopping by, hope you have a great weekend!
ReplyDeleteChrystina @BookLiaison
That's exactly my answer. I don't really remember such things :) Thanks for stopping by!
ReplyDeleteI hardly ever stop reading to look something up... unless I suspect there's a mistake. LOL. I usually just analyze the context and move on. :)
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by my FF Post! I agree and in the rare case I do get stumped, my Kindle has the handy built-in dictionary. Have a great weekend!
ReplyDeleteI'm glad I'm not the only one who couldn't remember LOL!
ReplyDeleteHave a lovely weekend!
I'm an old follower.
I agree that reading makes for a much bigger vocabulary. Thanks for stopping by! Old follower :)
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by my blog ! I'm with you. I couldn't think of one either. (:
ReplyDeleteReading has definitely helped strengthen my vocabulary!
ReplyDeleteAlso quick random question. How did you create the Blog I Follow scroller? I've been trying to make a scroller to put my Tour Host banners in, but I'm not sure how lol
-Cori
me too! I usually only need to look something up if I'm reading an old classic or something.
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by my blog! :)

ReplyDeleteI've learned a lot from reading as well. Even the slang words of other countries.
ReplyDeleteThanks for stoppin by!

I have to agree with that. I have found that the more I read the less I have to look up. BTW, how are you loving the Allie Beckstrom book? Jealous! lol Old Follower. Have a great week.
ReplyDeleteI totally understand you!
