I’ve always wondered what other people do when they come across a word/phrase that they’ve never heard before. I mean, do they jot it down on paper so they can look it up later, or do they stop reading to look it up on the dictionary/google it or do they just continue reading and forget about the word?I try and figure out the meaning from the context, or the actual structure of the word (simple example biology - bio and ology). Nonetheless, I end up heading to the dictionary/google before I go any further :-)

Right to google.com for me! Sometimes I make a note of it on my Blackberry and look it up later but my memory sucks so I try to do it right away.
Oh Pearl, I've said it before & I'm saying it again... you sound just like me!!
I'm forever grabbing a dictionary if I can't figure a word out from the context, and if I don't have a dictionary handy, then I dogear the page so I can go back later.
My co-worker once told me that the way I read a book was a whole new experience for her.
