In a rare break from the norm, I'll side with Wolf on this one. I'm not sure if his use case is similar to mine, but when I use the dictionary, it's usually on a word that I think I recognize, but am not sure about. In general, I need to know the word to continue with the story, rather than researching the history of the word.

I realize of course, there's no right way to use the dictionary and what works for one probably doesn't work for all.
