Admit Your Mistakes
In a few posts and on the Kijiji ads I have used some big words and in a jocular (look it up) manner asked you to 'look it up!' This is actually a mistake by good tutors and teachers. Before you run to the dictionary (do they still exist?) or google, try to use your intuition from the context of the sentence or paragraph. This can help you 'suss out' the meaning of the word. Also, stopping every time you cannot fathom a word stifles your interest in whatever you are reading. A good author doesn't mind if you miss or skip a few words. Simply plod on!
