Hard to understand anyone who reads enough to really justify a $400 device dedicated to reading yet feels they have no need of a dictionary. How disappointing.  |
Not sure why the sarcasm, but whatever.
With all due respect - and I mean that sincerely - degrees in the hard sciences don't necessarily build a vocabulary. Personally, with my lousy one degree and another in progress, I rarely need to look up English words while reading. And I read enough to justify plenty of $400 dedicated reading devices.
Also, since the poll is nearly a tie, I appear to have plenty of company.
