lol
You could be curious regarding the word’s etymology, pronunciation, usage, or you could be a ESL speaker looking up the word in order to learn it. Not everyone who uses an English dictionary is necessarily a native English speaker.
Not to be confused with entomology, which is a different animal altogether. Many different animals, actually.
I keep clicking and clicking…
Why won’t it work???
LOL, did you know they took the word ‘gullible’ out of the dictionary. ;)
haha couldn’t resist putting a lame joke to the question Jess. :)
I know what entomology means.. isn’t it like the study of insects? That would be a terrible job for me… I’m kinda afraid of most insects… :s
Etymology…? not a clue what that means… Guess I will just have to use my Dictionaryyy =]
haha there isn’t ‘gullible’ in the dictionary anyway… but there is ‘gullable’ :P lol
T He I did once when I was bored
Lol… oooh click on the ‘see images of a dictionary’ link… :P
