Two posts in one day... shocking, I know. What can I say? I'm feeling chatty or some such.

While clicking on Dictionary.com just now to check the spelling on something (because I was too lazy [see I TOLD you I was lazy] to get up and walk the three steps to my bookshelf to get out a real dictionary IN BOOK FORM!), I realized that, while handy, Dictionary.com would never take the place in my heart of the real McCoy, old-school, book version. Why? Because of Dictionary Smell. Have you ever noticed that all dictionaries smell the same? Slightly musty, but with a hint of the knowledge incorporated in its pages. I love that dictionary smell. It makes me feel smarter, somehow. Which is really counter to having to use the book in the first place, if you think about it. If I was smart enough, I wouldn't need to look the word up at all, now, would I?

So, yeah, Dictionary Smell. Good stuff to the word smiths of the world!
