<p>I agree that something you flick through is better than something you click through. But, I must say the interweb provided more assistance translating the roman numeral you offered - seems a diet of 80's TV shows and movies limits my understanding to MCMLXXX and above.</p>Tony.T commented on 'DON'T GOT DIC'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d8341cb34453ef00d83467f9c653ef2005-12-13T11:11:08Z2007-08-16T20:07:46ZTony.Thttp://aftergrogblog.blogs.com/agb/Sure is.

<p>A very good year, I might add. And the last bit is true. I've been there.</p>

Much better to look up something in some kind of beefy tome than muddle through the waffle and nonsense of the internets. My own favourite book is an English/Latin/English dictionary and phrasebook from MDCCXC handed down through the ancestral After Grog Bloggers.</p>

The fave I have is a 2500+ page Webster's I have from the late 1950's. It is massive, but has a lot of character, including an inscription from when it was originally given as a gift.</p>
<p>And just a little aside:</p>
<p>I see you say you can never get enough dic ... tionaries.</p>
<p>Reminds me of a funny thing that happened on the weekend. My best mate calls me Dick (short for Dixon) and he was explaining to some new friends we had made, while 'tired and emotional', that "no one understood how much he loved Dick."</p>
