How many people out there still use a hardcover or even a paperback dictionary? Every once in a while, I will pick this huge tome of words and search for just the right word. It does take some time to turn all those pages when one gets use to googling or whatever with online dictionaries. Sometimes it is even fun when you see a new word. The dictionary is like reading many books at one time, yes.

Just for Fun! 2
What would the world do without its greatest invention known as the safety pin? First, there will be a lot of babies back in the days before disposable diapers mothers would have to figure a way to fasten their baby's diaper well, but what a hassle that would be. I guess they could use buttons. Well, for another thing when pants happen to lose a button, or a zipper is broken there would be no way of securing it closed. Wouldn't that be a hoot if caught on the outside. Then it was a good thing that it was invented.

Quotation from Friedrich Nietzsche "He who wrestles long with monsters should beware lest he himself become a monster. And if you gaze long into an abyss, the abyss also gazes into you. Man is not destroyed by suffering, but by the meaning he makes of it."

*** I'm keen to republish the interviews I did for my series with Vocal creators. It's been a few years and I thought it might be nice to revisit these wonderful conversations. I'll be releasing them one at a time for a few weeks/months.

That is true, I am sure not many people do that nowadays.😔 Yet that feeling is beautiful, getting this heavy dictionary out of the shelve, browsing and searching for just the right word. Thanks for sharing this!👍🏼
Thank you for your reflection on the value of physical dictionaries! It’s refreshing to hear someone appreciate the tactile experience of turning pages and exploring words in a more deliberate way. There’s something special about finding a word by accident, almost like a discovery waiting to be made. While digital tools offer speed, the richness of flipping through a dictionary brings a deeper connection to language, as if each page is a mini journey. I completely agree—it’s like reading many books at once!
well done
