...After posted 'How To' now we're about to tell you more about dictionary tips and what should be done if you're using one...
Remember these follwoing TIPS...
· Dictionaries vary in approach. The best way to learn how to use your particular dictionary effectively is to read the introductory section which explains how entries are arranged in your very own reference book.
· If you can't seem to locate your word, make sure you are spelling the word right. For example, you won't find ISOTOPE in the dictionary if you are looking in the A section, which you might be tempted to do if, for example, your chemistry teacher speaks with a bit of a southern accent.
· If you're having trouble spelling a word, try the spell-checker in a word processor and see what it suggests.
· Don't forget to check online dictionaries, too. Many now include additional content, such as an audio pronunciation.
· In Google, typing define: futile will search only for definitions.
· It's okay just to browse in a dictionary, too. Open to any page and skim headwords until you see one that is interesting or unfamiliar.

And don't EVER forget these WARNINGS...
· Printed dictionaries may go out of date as the language changes, so check the copyright date on yours. Another way to gauge the currency of a dictionary is to look for relatively new words, such as chick flick or metrosexual.
· Dictionaries vary in content, and some are very specific. Look at the title to find out what you have. If you have a dictionary of rhymes, slang, idioms, synonyms, a foreign language, or a specific interest, such as woodworking terms, seek a more general dictionary.
