I’ve always wondered what other people do when they come across a word/phrase that they’ve never heard before. I mean, do they jot it down on paper so they can look it up later, or do they stop reading to look it up on the dictionary/google it or do they just continue reading and forget about the word?
If Farmer Ted is in the room I will usually ask him if he knows the meaning. If not I write the word down with the intention of looking it up later on. This part usually doesn't happen though. If I have a dictionary handy I will look it up. There have been too many times where the context of the writing has been lost due to one misunderstood word for me. I guess it also depends on how into the book I am.
