Do you often use a dictionary?

All the time. I used to look up words in the English-Chinese dictionary when I was a beginner, but now I find the English- English dictionary more useful when I reach a certain level of studying English as a foreign language. And of course there's also the Chinese-Chinese dictionary I still have to use in daily life, even though I'm a Chinese.

Let me take a wild guess, well, on average about more than ten times a day. I have an online dictionary available to me as an easy shortcut whenever I feel that I might need it. I also use it when I need to verify my spelling.
