hm, i'm good with words and definitions too, and it's true i can also often deduce the meaning of a word without looking it up. but i still like dictionaries. sometimes i like to just page through them for fun and see what crazy words i come accross that i have never seen before.

also, there is the game "dictionary" : two or more people play, one chooses a word from the dictionary and reads the definition, and the others must guess the word. i love that game. (i know, i'm a nerd. please don't mock me.)
