I can't name very many people that have finished the whole dictionary

The book gave me a roller coaster of emotions, I never knew what was coming next!

You joke but I read the dictionary as a kid (and not for the naughty words); helped me expand my vocabulary and gave me knowledge of stuff I wouldn't have known about at that age.

Hey, I did that as a kid too! My school was a glorified daycare, it was often the only reading material available, and it was somewhat more interesting than staring at the clock all day.

I think kids might. I remember reading it front to back when I was first really getting into literacy, hoping to get adults' seemingly godlike intuition for spelling words. Still like to open it up from time to time to peruse a letter

Dit you manege to sucseed dough?

Haha kind of, but I still need to have little games for some words, like how the word "parallel" has two parallel "ll" next to eachother.

I'm almost certain my spelling has got worse since autocorrect/suggest became a fixture of my daily life.

When it defined Zyzzyva, I cried butterfly tears.
