  • I own a number of dictionaries, but they are big and bulky and for research purposes mostly. Casually looking up a word I use my Merrimack Webster app.

    I have an old Webster. The websites I have tried aren't very good and some you must down-load. I don't down-load anything.

    I keep a dictionary handy, but don't usually need to use it.

    If I need to know something, or some word, I google it. 

    Books are too cumbersome.

    Yes, I have an Oxford and a Black's Law right here.  I do use the online versions sometimes too.
