Dictionary, Volume and Pythagoras Lines

Although I completely appreciate that the future will probably be digital, it’s still good when a student asks to use a dictionary. There’s something about working diligently to find the meaning of a word like ‘sentient’ or ‘anemone’ — and the journey through the pages also has significant value.

While I’m sure that there are many benefits to quick, online, delivery — usually accompanied by examples, videos and how to pronounce, along with recommendations for synonyms, reading lists etc … I really hope that reference books still have their place.
