>where do you find your words if not in a dictionary of some sort?
browsing the dictionary(s) now comes last amongst my various sources, which include my own reading/suggestions from subscribers/word books/online word lists/Wordnik (just kidding)
if you mean how do I look them up, I use one of the dictionaries I have access to, online or brick & mortar. d'oh.
come to think of it, my b&m dictionaries are getting quite dusty, as most everything I use is available online, including OED (through online library access) and W3 (available by subscription).
edit: I'm as amateur as they come, albeit my list is indexed by OneLook. (and there are still a few words for which wwftd is the only hit. some years ago the webmaster at OL sent me word lists compiled from their misses, and I used that as a source for words!)
