The Bloggers With The Most To Say
How many of you actually use a Dictionary while writing a post?
Every time I write a post I have a Dictionary/Thesaurus page open. English is not my first language but right now it's the only language I speak. Whenever I sit down to blog I need a dictionary to 'double check' certain meanings or find an alternative phrase/word...I tend to second-guess myself too much so I google some sentences to see if they make sense...
What about you?

Oh and I'm a logophile too! And before anyone asks, my first language is Creole/French. However I've studied English, French and Urdu since primary school. I understand Hindi too, can utter a few words, and I can read Arabic.
I'm not bragging and I would like find out more about bilingual (speakers) bloggers....

I do sometimes. I hate using some words in my blog over and over and over and over again.

Since English is not my first language, i ALWAYS have the thesaurus handy. I actually feel it makes my posts a bit better, putting more eloquent words in.

Yes I always have a Thesaurus page open. I even bought one when I attended one of those book fairs! :)

Problem is, it means I don't trust my own spelling... so I end up checking almost every word :P

I don't have problems with spelling but I need to look up definitions of some words I'm not sure of. Sometimes a French word, after being translated to English, doesn't mean the same. However I've been practising for a while..to 'think in English'...:D
