I keep looking words up — always do so as I read.
And I copy the definitions as I go.
My English teacher, Mr. Tighe, would approve.

I always note words I am not familiar with, often circling them as I go, or writing a list with page reference on the back page of the book. But I don’t get around to looking them all up. Lazy, I guess, or in too big a hurry to get to the next book!
My high school English teacher made a big point about looking up words. He strongly recommended it, and I got in the habit of doing so — it became a lifelong habit.
